Right Now – More Than Ever – You Need To Make Every Dollar Count <\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the services that agents should provide to their clients is photography. Some perform this service, themselves; others hire professional photographers; while most perform this service, themselves – but should hire professionals, instead.<\/em><\/p>\n

I enjoy photography, and joined a photography group last year here in Atlanta. They use Flickr<\/a><\/strong> as a means to communicate the groups conversations and show off their member’s works. Flickr (now owned by Yahoo!) is a huge group of photo enthusiasts where you can find pretty much any kind of like-minded photographers and their works imaginable.<\/p>\n

One of the groups on Flickr is the Photography For Real Estate<\/a><\/strong> group of which I am a member. The group focuses on the challenges of real estate photography. Although most of the members are photographers who contract their services to agents – many are agents, themselves, learning to improve their skills.<\/p>\n

You can set up an account on Flickr for free, which will allow you to upload and share photos with the world. That’s free – as in no cost. Nada. The big goose egg. There are some limitations to a free account, such as only being able to create three groups of photos… but a pro membership is just $30\/year, should you desire.<\/p>\n

As many of you are progressing into setting up your own blogs, you might be looking at different ways to insert images into a blog post. While Flickr does have the capability to compose code that you can use to insert images into your blog, a Swedish company called Admarket<\/strong><\/a> created an application called FlickrSLiDR<\/strong><\/a>, which takes a group of your Flickr photos and creates a slideshow for your blog.<\/p>\n

It is easy to use… and the application delivers the goods. The viewer can mouse around to set the speed of the slideshow, pause it, or go to a particular image.<\/p>\n

To help demonstrate this cool application, I have solicited the talents of famed photographer Scott Hargis<\/a><\/strong>, who is based in the Oakland California area.
