Summer tip #2: Filters & Free Software!

By
Real Estate Agent with Jane Haas Photography
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 reflections from glass, plastic, and painted surfaces. However, the polarizer does not remove reflections from shiny metal surfaces

Also, like to play with free photo software?  I found a ton of really cool ones, some mimic camera filters (great for those of you with P&S cameras unable to use filters!), some rasterize, some create photo albums that you can burn to dvd (great gift for homeowners!), some let you create gorgeous wallpaper, and more!

Good stuff.  As a photographer & Realtor, I combine the two disciplines all the time.  Filters are a big help when going for a certain "feel" in a home photo shoot.

The polarizing filter really is a great filter to use.  Another nice one to use is the daylight filter - use that one on overcast days.  It will give you the feel of a warm, sunny day, but since it's overcast you won't have shadows!  Woo Hoo!
