Hi BP

I am currently working on a rehab...
I have a nikon coolpix with 14x wide lens

HOW WOULD YOU DO? if you can't take a pic in one frame?

Bathroom 1


the bathroom is in this space (I stood by door)

Bathroom 2

Bathroom in the blue room

bath on one side and sink/toilet in other side

I m new to this..

so should I get a different CAMERA?
for listing is it better have each room in ONE frame??

thanks any advise would be nice

I just passed my realtor exam, and will be listing this unit myself, haven't had any training yet, but just doing due diligence

A couple options:

1. Buy a good camera, wide angle lense, and tripod. This will run you 1000-2000 depending the quality. A good wide angle lense can be $600.
2. Hire a pro photographer to shoot the home. This will run $200-$300 per house.
3. Use them as-is. I think the pics are okay. I would change your pic angle though, have it level, and shoot it 4 feet off the ground.

If you go on my properties page on my website, you can see what a new camera do. I'm an amateur at it, but they turn out pretty good and "pop" much more than a simple point and shoot camera.

I'm using:

Nikon D7000
AF-S Nikkor 12-24mm 1:4G
Photomatix Pro (to merge the HDR shots)
Adobe Lightroom for photo editing.

This house was shot with my camera http://wheelhouseproperties.com/2013/01/1666-n-ridge-circle/

This house was shot by a pro

I quit using the pro to save costs. The camera pays for itself after 5-6 houses.
