There is no need to speculate; here are the major statistics through the end of September 2013.

agents: not in focus - 06/29/13 10:58 PM
 

 
in real estate photography, we all strive for crisp, sharp in focus well lit images.

You may have heard of F stops when folks talk about photography...what they are discussing is "depth of field" or how far into the photo clear sharp focus … (5 comments)
