6 Wandi Street - recent shoot with new toys!

I've recently taken possession of a wider angle lens (18mm in film terms) and a portable pole that will elevate my camera up to 20 ft - very useful for shooting property exteriors from the bottom of a sloping driveway, or if blocked by fences and hedges.

Hangloosa Property Noosa, a boutique agency on Queensland's Sunshine Coast, asked me to photograph 6 Wandi Street, a home lovingly renovated by owners Clynt and Karen using quality materials.

I'm really excited by the photos which I believe will help sell this property quick-smart!
EDIT: Property sold.

More toys for better real estate photographs

With business picking up it just seemed right to plow back some money into new equipment.

First up was a wider angle lens - the well-reviewed Tokina 12-24mm. My previous widest setting was 18mm, so the new purchase embraces a significantly wider view, giving me cropping options while still retaining plenty of image content.

Secondly I bought an 18ft extendable pole. It's amazing how useful a modest height boost for the camera is. Prime examples are when shooting from the bottom of a sloping driveway, or when your view is impeded by a hedge or wall. Getting the camera level with the home results in less vertical distortion too (eg leaning walls).
