Wait for the light. Kris Berg shows you how it’s done. Do not fail to look at all of the photos.
I’m sure we would all love to have bazillion-dollar beach houses to sell, but, whatever your market, this is the kind of above-and-beyond marketing that gets houses sold.

Stunning photos.
Almost makes the house appear to be near the ocean.
One quibble.
The images should all be the same dimensions. I tried to leave my cursor in the same position on the screen to click “next” and could not accomplish my goal as the vertical height of the images kept changing.

Dave – Tough crowd! I see what you mean, but if it is overly annoying, you can just sit back and enjoy the virtual tour. No muss, no fuss.
Greg – I got the brochure back from the printer today and will try to share that tomorrow as promised along with some other cool-factors associated with this particular photography service.
Point of clarification – This home is about 15 miles from the “beach”, but I suppose if you are from Arizona, this indeed constitutes a “beach house”. As long as we can see it, we know we are there. 🙂

Kris,
That home is stunning. Jeff told me to check out your most recent addition. Is that the San Carlos home he was talking about?

My mistake. I thought your fourth photo was the view from the back of the home.

Very nice photo. That is the kind of picture that commands attention.
Here in Alaska where it is dark all winter I try to get some photos like that. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes not.
About the end of December twilight is about all the light we have.
You didn’t say what kind of a camera she was using. Was that an extra long exposure?

When I saw this on Kris’ blog I thought, “I could live there”. GREAT pics. I agree that the twilighty exterior shots are better. SO why put them near the end of the almost 80 photos instead of at the beginning??

Yes, well, sort of. It is in Del Cerro, which is just west of San Carlos.
>My mistake. I thought your fourth photo was the view from the back of the home.
It was. They can see the ocean sunset from their decks. The nothingness you see is not the ocean itself but open space. Kind of looks the same at night. 🙂
>You didn’t say what kind of a camera she was using. Was that an extra long exposure?
🙂 I love that we assume that great work comes at the hand of a woman. The photography had a y chromosome. As for the camera, beats me. Each photographer is an independent contractor for the company and brings their own equipment. All I know is that the camera was big and expensive looking.
>SO why put them near the end of the almost 80 photos instead of at the beginning??
I suppose the visual tour is like a little “day in the life” story board. For the brochure, the twighlight shot obviously gets cover placement.
