As I scroll through real estate sites I always find poorly shot photos of houses. I always wonder why someone would take a picture of a house that makes the house look bad, when you are trying to sell it. So we have decided to give some free advice:) Hopefully this will help your home look better and more professional.
The first problem we deal with is dark rooms. Especially if there is no electricity in the house at the time. So heres what to do. First of all try with taking the photo with a flash, however remember the flash can create weird light in your photos and make metal object shiny. So you can try this, but make sure you look at the picture and see how it looks before posting. Now lets try something else.
First, you will need a tripod (You can find a cheap one at wal-mart or most any other store). Put your camera on the tripod and set the mode to "Night" on the camera. The trick to shooting in night mode with a tripod is to use the self timer function. Most cameras will let you set a timer for taking a picture (refer to your users manual on how to do this). Turn on the timer and then click the button. The picture will take in about 10 seconds and should give the room plenty of light. Just be careful not to hit the tripod when the picture is taking, because it could make it blurry.
If you have questions about this technique please feel free to contact us at Luek@truepixproductions.com or visit www.truepixproductions.com. Also, don't forget to visit www.truepixrealestate.com to start having videos shot of your homes! :) Have a great day!!
