News Links Of Interest to Real Estate Photographers
August 17th, 2008
Here are some recent news links of interest to real estate photographers:
- Photojojo.com has a post on putting a point and shoot on a painters pole. This is very similar to the one I did recently on the same subject but I like their suggestion of using a small light ball head on the top of the painters pole.
- Here is a very interesting video over at crunchgear.com describing some technology that UW students came up with to fix video with stills. I can see some application for this in real estate photography!
- For iPhone users there are some pretty interesting apps starting to appear that are of use by photographers. Micah Walter talks about one at Inside Aperture and David over at Strobist talks about a couple of good photographic uses for the iPhone. Another good use for the iPhone is to keep a bookmark button for the site that tells you exactly when sunrise and sunset is where every you are.
I also want to point out the new FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) page that I added to the top links along the top of the blog header image. I get a lot of questions that are covered on the blog and I thought I’d use this page to point out features of this blog and where to find answers. There are over 430 posts on the blog as well as many pages that don’t show as links on the top of the page. It’s getting so even I have trouble finding stuff so I thought a FAQ would be a good way of indexing the important parts of this site. I’ll be adding to this FAQ in the future.

That’s very interesting, I did the same thing to a pool cleaning pole just two months ago. I bought the pole ten years ago to hold a muslin background for photography high school senior portraits and elementary groups. What I like about the pool pole is it’s three sections and extends 15 feet, I can keep the pole firmly on the ground for support. I used the ball head from my Bogan mono pod.
I use my Sony DSLR A300 on it. The A300 has a movable live view LCD screen, with a Delkin hood attached, I can tilt down to line up the camera, even when it’s at 12 feet or so. I use a Cactus RF wireless shutter release I got from gadgetinfinity.com. The whole system works great!

Larry, here is a link for a sunrise – sunset calendar. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3130/2771904089_250025ef2b_o.jpg
It also includes set up for twilight times, moon rise, set and phases. Also it can be printed out for months or years ahead.

Sorry, this is the correct link. http://www.sunrisesunset.com/custom_srss_calendar.asp
That’s what I get for talking on the phone at the same times as copying a link!
