The Blog "Lovely Listing" (LINK HERE (external link)) is a humorous collection of very bad photos used in real estate listings. I visit the site nearly every day. I've also contributed a listing or two to the site.

In my hunt for bad listings, I came across this one:

There's nothing wrong with the photos there. What strikes me is the quality of the photographs. Whoever did this gallery knows something about High Dynamic Range photography.

Agree? Disagree?

I agree. Those are much better than most! I even see a spinning ceiling fan, which points to a tripod being used and some slow shutter speed as well as combining of exposures. When we sold our house 6 months ago I took the photos, using some wireless flashes. I didn't have the effect they got in that gallery, but they were better than the typical P&S crap every else had around here.

I agree too, excellent photography. Just try to convince a real estate agency to pay for it. When I bought my house the listing said "Park-like setting". The picture looked like the park was in the former Soviet Union.

One of the homes we where looking for said " River Access" and when looking at the picture it looked like a 100 foot lot in the back yard backing on to a river.. drove 2 hours to see the house and the river was about 15 feet from the back door! infact most of the back yard was a 1 foot deep river.

I showcased the interior of a camping trailer. I used a 17mm lens on my 5D to do it. It looked downright cavernous.

I think the photos were well done!
