Have to admit, knew absolutely nothing about this device. Happened to win a wide angle lens that attaches to your digital camera lens with a magnet. It is inexpensive, and it makes all the difference. Yes, we have already tried it out! Go onto this website:
What kind of ethics do you practice?
80% of buyers begin looking for a home on the internet and 80% of those buyers will not look at a listing if it does not have a virtual tour. Most buyers will bypass a listing that only has one or two photos or pictures that make the home appear unattractive. … (6 comments)

Hello everyone,
As sure as the spring will follow the winter, prosperity and economic growth will follow recession. -Bo Bennett The quote is meant to inspire and reassure those who have been so troubled and impacted by all the negative economic news that indeed the renewal and rebirth will arrive as surely as … (21 comments)
Carol Smith's blog about tulips inspired me to post this picture on an arrangement I made in February 2008. I love flowers, and really enjoyed this arrangement. I added orange roses, and they seems to make all the difference to the arrangement. It is a color combination I would try again. … (2 comments)
The other day I was searching for houses for a client. I pulled 15 properties off the MLS and started to go through them. Five out of the fifteen properties had absolutely no pictures. This isn’t a new phenomenon. I have seen it with high and low priced properties in good … (15 comments)
Posted in response to this hilarious conversation: http://activerain.com/blogsview/437959/So-How-Old-is(Thought it was pretty key to our profile, so I am posting it now as a blog.)I just wanted to put my two cents in as a photo studio owner. Updating your photo when you make a long term change or after a couple … (4 comments)
Its really frustrating to me and most buyers to do a search for available properties and frequently see listings with "no photo available"! How lazy is that?! In today's market we need to do everything possible to market our homes, including providing lots of pictures! Many listings require pictures anyway.I'm getting ready to … (9 comments)

HI there - I had an excellent customer support representative this morning who helped me with my file manager. I always ask for the feedback form so I can share the excellent feedback with Advanced Access.
As a home inspector, here is a concern that I personally experienced with a client! It is a corroded toilet tank float arm. I noted the concern to the client, but it was even worse than we could estimate! It went out within a month of moving in, and of course … (3 comments)
Crazyfunny picture on the front page of today's NY Times. For some reason they decided that rather than showing Ben Bernanke testifying before Congress, they'd show a giant foot of the guy next to him. … (2 comments)
I have read several posts about pictures of homes on websites after they sold or just as pictures representative of homes in the area. While I see the validity of wanting your privacy, it seems there are bigger things lurking out there that should be more worrisome. It really didn't occur … (10 comments)
Lately Saugatuck Michigan has been experiencing winter wonderland. We have a break in the weather for a day or so, with more snow on the way Sunday.
Do you have fond memories from a favorite vacation spot? Why not relive the ambiance and ecstasy of that special trip of rest, recreation, and relaxation.
When you are creating virtual tours or slide shows of photos you need to be aware of your audience.
http://www.seetheproperty.com/29843Check this property out, a converted church in beautiful Niantic, CT. This is currently being being used as an Inn with private living quarters for the owner. Could be converted to a spectacular (large) single family residence. Restoration details and updates are exquisite, moldings, medallions, and more! I had the pleasure … (0 comments)
First off, let me apologize for how grainy this photo is. big oops on that, lost the original somehow. Well, anyway, I took this photo at a family members dock heading into Wildwood, NJ. It was a beautiful brisk morning. Real morning too, I was there at 6am waiting for the … (6 comments)
Okay, a lot of you have probably already seen this, but here goes:
Here it goes...my first blog on Active Rain. (Thanks Dane for the invite.)
Over on my main blog, I just finished up a series of video tutorials on managing, editing and resizing your photos in preparation for uploading them to the MLS (in this case, MRIS, the MLS I work for.)
Want to check out some new software or learn how to do something like http://help.cnet.com/?tag=hd_ts compose a good picture? Check out , it is one of my favorites for keeping up, learning about new stuff and just plain fun stuff!
So the profile pic I have right now is a clip from my cell phone's camera. It works for now, but I really want to get a professional headshot done. However, budget for this type of thing is limited...So, here's the question....Where did you get your headshot done? Or did you … (7 comments)
For those of you that have been enjoying my nature & bear photos here are a couple of new ones. Most of you are aware that we live in a community called Wintergreen in the Blue Ridge Mountains, but for those new to the blog this development is about 40 minutes … (5 comments)
First, I admit this is just an attempt to meet more agents, make a positive impression, and to help them a bit -- so when they need a virtual tour, they'll think of me. 
One of my agents took this photo of his new forclosure property listing. Photos like this always make me laugh :-) … (6 comments)
It's that time of year again in Portland; the weather cools, the sweaters and flannel sheets come out of their Summer slumber, and the Horses start racing at Portland Meadows. [I almost broke even!] I wanted to share this photo taken from my office today of NE Seventh Ave. This is … (0 comments)

Real estate professionals understand the importance of personal branding. Rarely will you see a business card or advertisement that does not a picture of the agent. Phenomenal practice! Many people have trouble with names. Few forget a face. Couple it with a recognizable company logo, and you have greatly increased your … (11 comments)
The other day, I blogged about my great new digital camera. If you missed that post, you can find it here.I got to thinking, what can I take a picture of that can really take advantage of the super-zoom capabilities... The lens isn't quite as powerful as a telescope, but it sure … (9 comments)
When was the last time you updated your real estate photo? I find agents who have been in the business for years often don't update their photo on a consistent basis. What do you think clients are thinking when they meet you in person for the first time, and the photo … (4 comments)
Okay, my fellow AR'ers; whaz' up with those of you who use a symbol, graphic, or other "non photo" for marketing yourself on AR and elsewhere? I mean, really....I'm 50, with gray hair, bags under my eyes, a nose that's always bothered me, and teeth that could probably use whitening, but … (6 comments)
PLEASE look at your photos before you post them on the internet or upload them into your local MLS!!! There is nothing that makes us look less professional then blurry photos or photos that are way too dark or way too light!!! This is our profession; lets show some pride in … (9 comments)
I definitely knew better than to have an old picture representing who I am but I was guilty of posting one that was about 4 years old and about a foot and a half of hair ago! 
Again, for DSLR Camera owners!
A polarizing filter will reduce or eliminate the problem and make the colors of the sky and foliage deeper. Polarizing filters are handy in overcast light, where they reduce glare on wet foliage and increase color saturation. A polarizer can also be used to remove unwanted … (5 comments)
I'm more of an exhibitionist:
For your viewing pleasure... Here are the results from a recent photo shoot in Clear Lake- Houston. I discovered a new technique to use for front elevations that really produced great results. In order to distribute the light evenly, I physically "painted" the house with light … (29 comments)
Just another whirlwind weekend in the life of Matt Jonasen.Actually, I did my first Open House this weekend. It was rather exciting. I found myself completely nervous. Every time a car drove by I thought, "Oh man, what am I gonna say? I have no idea about construction issues. What if … (1 comments)
Hello!Here is the much anticipated (lol) part III in my very own series "Agent Photos... the good, the bad, and the "are you sure about that?"In my earlier posts, I got comments/questions about the type of attention that a good photo can get. I never really thought about who was looking … (7 comments)
Inquiring minds want to know: To all those Blogging Queens & Kings, is it better (and easier) to write my blog in Word first and then just copy & paste it to AR? Or am I better off just writing it on the AR blog composition page? If I want to … (22 comments)
Not that long ago, I had looked into creating my own virtual tours. I was trying to keep costs down but still make an impact with my listings. I came across a free program on Microsoft's website called "Photo Story 3". The program takes graphic pictures and adds music or a … (4 comments)
Photo Editing is frequently skipped or can eat away at agents time - the photo you thought was perfect, has the cats litter-box right in the foreground, or in the bathroom mirror you can see your good looking elbow jutting into view. But Elbows and Litter-boxes don't sell homes...What to do … (3 comments)
Yesterday Dad/my business partner and I went out to take some photos and measure a new listing. He had a few extra errands to run out on that side of the county, and I just enjoyed the ride. Suddenly it occurred to me that I really like the Codgers' windshield photos and that … (1 comments)

Or, are the shirtless loan officers looking for dates?
Over the years I've used several different vendors for virtual tours, but have always preferred to post lot's of pictures and a floor plan instead of the 360 pics.
