Add one of These to your Camera Bag Next Time You Do a Photo Shoot at a Listing - 01/24/12 02:45 AM
Add one of These to your Camera Bag Next Time You Do a Photo Shoot at a Listing I wrote about this technique recently in "Using Fisheye Lenses in Real Estate Photography". If you haven't tried using a fisheye lens when you photograph your listings, prepare to be impressed. You'll need one of these:
I happen to like Canon products, but there are certainly other fisheye lenses out there. Ken Rockwell describes this lens as "far sharper" than any Nikon fisheye lens. You'll also need DxO Optics Pro software. Optics Pro 7.0 is the latest incarnation of this astounding image … (12 comments)
Fisheye lenses have their place in real estate photography. Ten years ago, people were using fisheye photos to create 360-degree panoramic tours. But times have changed. Uncompressed fisheye shots make great interior panoramas, without the use of 360 degree software. For these examples, I used a Canon 5D Mark II camera body with the f2.8 Canon 15mm Fisheye lens.

Diversity and multi-culturalism foster sensitivity and good business practices - 01/14/12 04:09 PM
Pacita Dimacali has contributed an excellent post on the topic of diversity and multiculturalism in the practice of real estate.

Pacita does a commendable job of explaining the value of diversity and the fact that attention to diversity issues is good business practice.
