LESS TALK – More Photos!

by Kevin Hakan Bouvier on March 30, 2010

Hi again, here we are. Next day, same topic and same subject house. I will be less wordy and let the photos speak for them selves today. Now, we are in front of the house facing the sun we were dealing with a washed out sky and some unwanted shadowing in the front. As yesterdays photos, I wanted to bring out the richness in texture and color of the house exterior and also have an almost animated dream like feel to the sky. Again, in post production, Jason was able to work his magic and deliver. I truly enjoy getting to work with him and how he understands what I am asking for in the photos. As you can see below, he was able to provide exactly what I wanted.

As always, after I got the photos from him, I still wanted to push for MORE. Within a few seconds I got rid of the light by the tree in the lower left. We are selling a lifestyle here and properties of this substance do not let the front yard and garden area get so run down. I do not know what the personal story is behind the home owners neglecting the front with such poor landscaping (curb appeal – HELLO!!!) but I decided to take it upon myself. I put on my cyber gardening gloves and planted pansies all along the front drive. In the video you will see Friday, it is a quick pan and you only see it for a few seconds – but with my company name on it a low lying over grown evergreen was not acceptable.

My Mum would agree.

Here is the pool with an infinity line towards to the golf course, sun blaring down. I knew jason would take care of this as always and he did (see below) but then my OCD kicked in. All I could see was a hose at the end of the steps by the gate (far end) and the absolute horrible calcium build up along the tiles of the pool.

As we do with each photo, looking it over and over for anything that can be improved on, we got rid of the calcium build up on the tiles and the hose laying on the steps. That along with Jason’s keen eye for bringing out the color of the sky and stone work we were good to go!

Everything you have seen so far is relatively easy but necessary clean up in post production to make a photo the absolute best it can be. After we narrow down the photos by 60% we look through each one to see what needs to be done to improve it in anyway. Tomorrow I will go over some extremely dramatic changes that were made just for that – DRAMA – and it was very effective.
