HDR - A Better Way to Photograph Properties in Cypress TX I'll admit it - I am a camera geek.  More specifically, a Nikon camera geek.  I am always looking for a better way to showcase my listings and HDR or High Dynamic Range photography is one of the best ways to accomplish that goal.  I don't think there would be an argument from any real estate agent if I said that high quality property photos are the most important aspect of telling the story of our listings.  Yet, the lack of quality in listing photos amazes me. HDR photography, in simple terms, takes a series of images where the exposure is varied.  I usually take 9 shots, because my Nikon D300s allows it.  The images are taken with exposures varying from -4, -3, -2, -1, 0 (normal exposure), then +1, +2, +3, and +4.  This results... 08/12/2011

I used to live in Canyon Lakes West off of Fry Rd. in Cypress, TX. I liked the neighborhood because I knew a lot of my neighbors and they were all really great people. We were lucky to have such great neighbors, but it’s not quite the neighborhood that Bridgeland is. I road cycle around 30 to 40 miles a couple times a week through my area, so I get a good feel of what all the local neighborhoods are like. I have to say that Bridgeland is far superior to any of the neighborhoods around Cypress. Black Horse Ranch and Cypress Creek Lakes are very nice also, but still not to the level of Bridgeland. When we first moved to Cypress, we would hear rumors that Bridgeland was going bankrupt and that it was a risky place to buy. I wish we would have ignored the advice and bought there anyway. Al... 07/21/2011
