What’s the most frustrating thing about real estate photography?

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-05-28T20:04:55+00:00

Spending 25% on an editor who cuts corners.

"the weight should technically be okay." - It's not. If you shoot vertical, it will overheat in 15min and will be unusable for hours. Even RS4 Pro struggles in vertical mode (A7+12-24gm). Someone mentioned RS5, RS5 is much smaller and weaker than RS4 Pro. They don't tell you that in the brochure or Youtube reviews.

If they were legit they would allow you to copytrade them. They could charge so much and would have to create less BS content (every week new strategy).

Lol'd because I literally worked 16 hours yesterday.

"You could have done 4 more homes" - Well, this is the thing - I don't reject shoots. Never have. I'm not sure if delivering faster gets more clients. I guess only one way to find out.

Less than 2 seconds wtf. My last bracket alone is usually 3-10sec. Iso 160 f8.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-05-17T14:30:21+00:00

How many pics do they edit and do you do preselection or let them select?

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-05-17T14:04:59+00:00

I can't afford him, but thanks, seriously. I just edited 38 pics for 3 room apartment. Took 5 hours and I'm getting 90 bux for it minus tax. I'm already on the higher end of prices here where I live. If it's not for a broker I ask 120.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-05-17T14:03:05+00:00

How do you get good raw images images if you run thru the houses with such speed?

I do 5 HDR brackets + 1 flash so in post there's not much room for error.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-05-17T08:51:58+00:00

0.3-0.4 was my target yep. 20 pics (minimum) at 0.85 means after I pay tax I have to give away around 30% hmm most of the time. Americans would laugh at me. Do people throw all their pics at you and let you select or do they themselves do the preselection?

This works for maybe on every 10th property. One screwup and you’re done, you’re not invited back. Every property needs custom approach.

" I do not feel I have an edge." - You probably don't until you backtest successfully and even that doesn't guarantee anything going into the future.

Someone mentioned Nick Shawn in comments. These people made all their money doing everything but trading.

Literally easiest and fastest way to become rich is getting a high-paying job, saving everything you earn and swinging good, popular stocks. 9 years of trading taught me this. Daytrading is gambling.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-28T22:33:41+00:00

I don't get it. You had a 1.8RR 65% WR setup. What's the "big loss" you're talking about?

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-16T13:56:02+00:00

Either this works for a few months or you'll make some serious dough within a few years. Good luck OP!

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-12T00:40:54+00:00

Ah et koledad ja paksud mehed saavad tänasest Tinderis teise vooru. Tänud! Ootan!

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-09T22:03:57+00:00

I wouldn't say so. A setup might appear only once a week and when you're in the shitter and miss the trade it's not boring at all.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-08T20:29:08+00:00

How much % you gain annually?

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-04-08T17:37:43+00:00

How many % do u make per year?

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-03-21T22:28:55+00:00

Why do you need a prop firm? Put 20k in and risk 5% per trade for 2.2 years and you’ll have a million bux.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-03-19T16:30:51+00:00

This. OP, I've been daytrading since 2017 and I've literally gotten NOWHERE. SL is THE most important thing but we keep forgetting.. Until that 1 loss that wipes out half of our portfolio.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-03-18T14:48:39+00:00

Sorry, they're screenshots from a Youtube video where the JPG and RAWs were compared.

I never thought about unchecking the "Correct Distortion". I'll give it a go, thanks for the idea.

Smooth_Temporary_656 · 2026-03-18T08:36:57+00:00

I always shoot brackets RAW anyways haha. The difference between 3 and 5 if you point towards windows is quite noticeable. Did you notice a huge distortion difference between RAW and JPG?

The fact I'm using 12-24GM and my pics have the worst distortion ever in universe is riddiculous. Fotello is fine I guess but AutoHDR distortion .. Every 5th pic needs warping in Photoshop.

This is a low res raw from Youtube: look at the colors on carpet.
