MLS-Images Blog

Well be offering technology skill building information in short snippets of videos and written step by step procedures, demonstrations of our work, and the occasional bit of humor (& sarcasm). We've attempted to omit as much music, time nibbling graphics, introductory language, and other unnecessary crap as much as possible. Frankly, I'm only writing this introduction to my blog for SEO purposes; sometimes a robot needs a bit of help figuring things out.

We call our videos just in time learning. The information you need to build the foundation of your knowledge base, presented in tiny single topic blogs. These short and to the point videos provide just what you need to know to complete one aspect of a more extensive task. We try and keep videos to under 5 minutes, and YouTube hosted video are transcripted.

I encourage any humans reading this to take a look at our collection of videos and written blogs that may help you complete a task. Our YouTube channel contains an extensive collection of short and to the point technology how-tos. If you dont see what you need here, contact us, most times that's the fastest way.

AND THIS IS OUR SANDBOX

Why HDR is Obsolete?

The Wireless Flash.

I like to think photographers are part scientist who love a good experiment. Put new technology in our hands and we begin an investigation. We use technology to create new techniques to capture our visual description of the world.

It's hard to tell the story if you don't have a stunning image to back it up

Why is a picture worth a thousand words?

Time. A glance is about two seconds. Uninterested users bounce off a web site in about 10 seconds. The average person can read one thousand words in a about 198 seconds.

The more time you spend on something is an indication of how much you have been thinking about it. It’s an indication of the level of effort made to come to a decision. A Real Estate Photo's goal is to make it a quick and easy click for more information.

2 seconds, 10 seconds, 198 seconds.

Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

Are You Leaving Money on the Table?

As a realtor, you have an extremely large, in some cases massive, footprint. Every property you list is syndicated nationally and accessible to anyone in the world with internet access. Those photos, and your name are visible on the web for years building your brand image and footprint. Your digital footprint composes the picture of who you are establishing your brand image.

The 9 Things Every Real Estate Photographers should be doing to keep you safe from COVID-19

These procedures protect the health and safety of the homeowner, the photographer and the realtor. They even protect the NEXT family home we are visiting. Last year we took 11 Covid Tests – thankfully all negative. We take every recommended precaution; these are the 9 things we do to keep you safe.

Copyright

Our copyright is valued as sacred; we do not transfer or sell our rights to the images we take. Yep - we are serious about our copyright and need to make sure you understand our position and intent to protect our rights.

No matter how crazy you think some of these old superstitions are, when you're desperate to sell, or are just looking for some honest-to-goodness luck, you'd be surprised how willing you are to try anything.

Like the Inuit Eskimos who have hundreds of individual names for the different the types of snow, photographers have hundreds names for the different types of light: hard, soft, diffused, specular, direct, reflected, etc...It’s absolutely everything to a photographer.

Consider these key factors when researching the real estate photographer you need. Do a little self-guided learning to discover the types of photography; it makes a huge difference in your results. Have a conversation directly with the photographer about their business, how they shoot, what they offer and what you expect. You’ll be a lot happier with your results.

In Real Estate, immersive tours significantly improve the interaction a prospective buyer has with a property. A 360° tour by its very nature requires active engagement creating interaction with your listing.

Your real estate photographer is working for you to benefit of the THOUSANDS of people who will be looking at your home on the web. It’s their job to get as many people searching on-line to take a second look at your home.

Let’s be clear, an HDR image is a computer-generated rendering, it’s an image, not a photograph. It’s a distinctive image style where all points of brightness are the same across the dynamic range. Colors, because they are tone mapped don’t always look correct, furthermore significant detail and clarity is lost.
