What I am most proud of is being able to make something out of anything. The blown out windows don't bother me at all. I think it's a nice, appealing shot of the room and unless there is a spectacular view behind those curtains, it's not a problem. The room looks warm and cozy and it's great that we can see the en-suite bath... amen James, on post #6. that’s our real life. we don’t often have the luxury of choosing the perfect time of day, optimum conditions, etc. and we have to be able to work with what we have.

These days and the future shows that the Internet will represent a strong percentage of new home lookers. Because the www, is visually based - stronger photographs will be the standard in not too long. Even the realtors that I have tight realtionships with there are younger agents already recognizing the visual impact of the web ----> Getting their business now is the way to go. Showing them that the images that they have over other agents are so much better and will work as tool for getting mor listings. I try to get in tight right from day one..... I want the agent to feel that I am extension of him/her working toward several common goals..... a reputation for comprhensive and skilled photography and the ability to produce marketing materials that will compliment and enhance there existing materials. Tough - for on person In past years Real Estate Photography has been about the agent doing it as a supplement to the listing and it meant very little.

Seems like I'm in the minority this time. oh well, to each their own, right? Too true, more than once I've been told by the resident that they aren't ready after the client told me to go ahead a go at x time.

The accurate exposure of the bedside lamps is sufficient and the accurate representation of the ambient light defines the room in a more appealing way. I think that recognizing when to retain some window detail, full window exposure or blown completley as well as being able to acheive those results in any given situation is what makes for strong photographers and ultimately better images. Real Estate Photography and it's encumberances denies the full abiltity to illustrate perfect results in many instances and so there is photographic compromise in many cases. The ability to make the best of all of those variables at any given point is what real estate photography is about. Almost everyone in this business works on other peoples shedules, not top dollar, quick yet strong results, weather influenced, home owner thought you would pick up afer the kids, can I have a copy of the pictures when your done, we are re-doing the garden in a week can you come back again, hurricane shutters on two days early, half eaten breakfast on the counter two hours later. Last but not least my absolute favorite ...... lifelike sex doll feet sticking out from under the bed, amongst other visible clutter.

I work for listing agents. I also like this image better than the other example where flash was used. I don’t work for potential buyers. I work for listing agents.

MrRobert: Sure this is not a perfect image but I was making a point about composition rather than lighting. Gary,
