pole aerial photography: How to take twilight photos - 02/26/08 03:20 PM
I have been asked to detail how to take twilight shots of listings.  Someone said they were glamour shots for real estate; probably very accurate.
What you need:  a camera with some manual control and a tripod. 
Arrive about 30 minutes before sunset. Take some test shots to determine the right angles. Go inside for interior shots (turn on ALL the lights in the house and leave them on for the exterior shots) After sunset, turn on ALL exterior lights and set back up for the exterior shot you determined earlier. Flash - Off  (At this distance, it's useless) ISO - Low (Low … (11 comments)

pole aerial photography: Evolution of my PAP system - 12/07/07 10:55 AM
For those who haven't read the other post, PAP is pole aerial photography.  Stick your camera to the end of a pole, hold it up on the air and take pictures of listings.  It just gives you a different look from the typical front photo of a house.

I started off by attaching my little Sony DSC-P71 to the end of three bull float handles.  Bull float handles are aluminum poles which are six feet long with a male thread in one end and a female thread in the other.  This allows you to screw together as many as you … (43 comments)
