September 05 2013
It's that time again... time to discuss yet another trend contributing to the ever-growing population of bad MLS photos. Can you guess what it is?
No, we're not talking about piles of dirty laundry – although that classic listing photo flop probably deserves its own post. Instead, we want to take a moment to caution agents against the overenthusiastic use of HDR.
HDR (high dynamic range) photography is a method in which a photo is taken at multiple exposure levels. Usually one is over exposed, one is under exposed, and one is exposed at normal levels. These photos are then combined to create one master image that theoretically showcases the best parts of each. It can be a very helpful technique in the right situations. In fact, we even wrote a post about it.
But that was then and this is now. Smartphone cameras and photo editing apps have made HDR both more accessible and more misunderstood. HDR is being misused for all sorts of things, including real estate photography.
Does this house come with glowing alien trees and a fuzzy roof? Nope, it's just the magic of bad HDR.
