A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words.... Part 2
I wanted to take a moment to talk about the focal length of the camera you use to photograph the interior of a home.  You want to get the widest angle possible.  I use a 10mm to 20mm on a Nikon camera (equivelant to a 17 to 35mm in a 35mm format).  Most of your point and shoot cameras only have an equivelant of 28-35mm lenses as their widest angle lens.  The wider the angle of the lens the more of the room you will get. 
The following photos were taken on a tripod at exactly the same spot with as close to the same lighting as possible.  This was a large kitchen with plenty of room to step back.   This shows you what a wider angle lens can do.  In some case it goes from higlighting furniture to actually showing the feel of a room... how it opens into the dinging room, the new hardwood floors, the openess....  In the living room you can get the whole feel of the room pretty much showing 3 corners of the room and how it lays out, instead of a small vinette of the fireplace.
