I got an iPad a couple of days ago. I decided that it’s important to pay attention to the iPad as a browsing and e-book reading platform. Google analytics for the PFRE blog shows that 2% of the PFRE blog traffic is already from iPad users. Probably a more significant fact is that the traffic [...]

Today I had someone ask me how I use Social Media On PhotographyForRealEstate.net. I have to admit it’s not all that clear. Here is how I use it: Twitter: I have a Twitter account (@pfreblog) and I have the PFRE blog’s Feedburner feed setup so that every time I post to PFRE Feedburner automatically sends [...]

On the flight over to Hawaii last week, I was listening to the This Week In Photography Podcast. They had an interview with John P, the CEO of woopra.com, and I was so impressed with the woopra live website tracking that I immediately signed up and installed woopra on PhotographyForRealEstate.net and started using it.

A few days ago I changed the blog header to my Christmas header. In 2007 when I first used this header, Aaron Leitz pointed out that he had a similar shot that he’d taken during the 2005 Christmas season from Gasworks park on a tripod and telephoto lens. The exact same series of lights with [...]

I want to point out a change to the blog that may not be all that obvious. At the bottom of each post there’s a line of text that says, “Share and Enjoy“. Under that text is a line of little icons and links for posting to social networking sites. The icons are a little [...]

I’ve posted updated versions both the English version and the Russian version of the Realtor photo guide. Andrey Khrolenok who did the Russian translation inspired me to do this update. Andrey reduced the font size in the Russian version so there is room for photo examples. He also overlaid each photo example with a red [...]
