PhotoTips |
-
Stand back and include
lots of picture around the house! Remember that a normal photo enlarged
will be 8" x 12", so in order to reduce to an 8" x 10", two inches will
have to be taken off the sides.
-
Avoid direct, head-on
angle. Try to move off-center and include some of the side.
-
Avoid bright sunlight
and deep shadows. Overcast days are best.
-
Try and move cars or
avoid large trees in foreground.
-
If the desired angle
and location is too close, take 2 or 3 overlapping VERTICAL photos from the exact
same location. I can merge them.
-
Take multiple pictures
and include details of season or landscaping.
-
Consider different
angles of the house, sometimes the front is not the best.
-
I accept either print
or digital photographs.
