encinitas: Encinitas Beach Home Showing Pole/HDR Photography
- 08/09/09 03:16 PM
Our practice has been hectic here in San Diego which is why I haven't posted for a while. Anyway, I wanted to share some of our latest pole photography and high dynamic range blending photos. The home is a little beach cottage across from the library, and not far from the ocean. However, it doesn't have ocean view. So, it was important that we show how close the home was to the water (walk to beach). We also need to present the home in a nice way since it is an Encinitas beach cottage. First, the front view of the home. We … (1 comments)
encinitas: OK, Now I get it! A follow-up on HDR (high dynamic range).
- 01/15/08 06:11 PM
Boy have I been confused a bit about this High Dynamic Range merging stuff. I've been reading my new book, "The HDRI Handbook," and I now am beginning to get a handle on why the HDR images can look so, so good. But I thought I would share some of my confusion because I thought that maybe someone else was similarly confused. I've been playing with Photoshop's Merge to HDR where I converge 5 or more images into a single high dynamic range image (32 bits). Well, they always looked muddy to me. Here's my most recent example: It sort of looks ok, and … (14 comments)
encinitas: Coastal San Diego Hazardous Waste Pickup
- 12/08/07 05:09 PM
We had a bunch of paint at our house, and we decided to finally get rid of it. We knew there were hazardous waste drop-off locations for electronics, but we weren't sure about disposing of liquids. To our very pleasant surprise, we found out about Clean Harbors. (Phone: 1-800-444-4244) They have signed agreements with Carlsbad, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, and San Marcos (I think). Just call the number, and they will come pick it up. If you have the standard amount, up to 15 gallons of paint, they charge $10 in Encinitas (prices may vary in other city jurisdictions due to … (1 comments)
encinitas: Home Marketing: Use DVDs!
- 11/28/07 02:06 AM
If you or someone you know is thinking about selling their home, it is important to consider the use of full-motion video and DVDs. We have been doing this for years, and have gotten to the point where we own cameras, remote microphones, lights, Avid post-production systems and more. Here are a few of the reasons we have found that having video and DVDs is so important in selling a home today. Open House 24/7. The most critical factor in selling a home for top dollar is marketing exposure. By having full-color brochures with DVDs in the flyer box at … (4 comments)
encinitas: Foreclosures in San Diego County
- 11/26/07 03:53 PM
There's a lot of talk these days about foreclosures, reos, and defaults. In an effort to answer our client's questions about what was going on in the market, we implemented Foreclosure maps, where we take the current data and plot it on the map. This allows our clients (and us) to visually see where the foreclosures are occurring to better understand the real estate market. Here's the kind of map that I'm talking about: Note: The numbers on the pushpins show how many bedrooms for the particular property. This map is the current (as of this writing) trustee sale map (i.e., … (0 comments)
encinitas: Climate Zones for San Diego
- 11/26/07 03:27 PM
People hear a lot about the climate in San Diego, but did you know that the west part of San Diego has FOUR climate zones? Depending upon where you buy a house, there can be substantial differences in your climate experience there, and things like air conditioning can matter in one zone and not another. Here's a quick list of the zones that scientists have identified by looking at empirical temperature and humidity data: The last of the four zones, the desert zone, is further inland, well past the city of San Diego. To help people better understand where the climate … (1 comments)
encinitas: Implementing Lot/Land Maps in San Diego
- 11/18/07 03:43 PM
Did you ever wonder why VERY VERY FEW real estate sites have really good lot/land real estate maps? This blog entry seeks to explain the problems and to give you some ideas on how you might solve them. Recently we implemented real estate maps with Lot/Land data pulled from the MLS RETS server. This had been a troublesome set of maps to create, so I decided to share some of my ideas with our colleagues on this. Just so you know what I'm talking about, I'll show you a piece of one of the details of one of my current Encinitas … (0 comments)
encinitas: SurfTheTurf.com Team Releases San Diego County Long-Term Rental Maps
- 11/18/07 02:29 PM
Earlier in the year, the rental market in San Diego thinned. We believe this was simply because many buyers were fearful of making a purchase because they thought the market might go down. Additionally, other people moving into the area could not buy because their previous homes had not yet sold. Consequently, many buyers decided to rent rather than purchase a home, and the rental inventory dwindled. This reduction of supply also resulted in rents going up. In some areas of Encinitas, a home that previously rented for $2200 in 2006 could rent for $2700 in 2007. This increase in prices … (0 comments)

Many people relocating to the area want to know about the climate.

On the web page, the zones are described and what … (0 comments)
