Some of you seemed to like the idea of a regular (weekly?) photo feature, so let's kick things off with a photo submitted by CLHMS and Million Dollar Guild member Lisa Wadey:
As you can see from the photo above this large, Mediterranean-style home sits right on a beautiful golf course at the foot of scenic hills in Scottsdale.
The unique perspective of the photo captures all these important details--the front facade, the golf course to the rear, the mountain view in the background--in a single shot. This is the photo that "says it all." The catch of course is that it was shot from 40 or 50 feet in the air!
The secret to shots like this?
One technique for capturing a property from an elevated perspective is to use a boom truck or "cherry picker." These trucks can typically be rented for very reasonable rates (here in Dallas that's about $250 for two hours with a driver) and offer great flexibility to help you or your photographer capture that perfect shot.
You'll find tips on this and so much more in the How to Photograph Houses eBook by Stan Barron (Members can download it for free from the Document Downloads page of our website).
