I WISH I had done this blog...WHAT is SO INTERESTING about a toilet!?!
Did I get your attention?
It's driving me crazy to see so many photos of toilets in the listings. It seems that some listing agents feel like they have to take a picture of every toilet in the house! I understand that it's difficult to get a shot of a bathroom without including the toilet, but it doesn't have to be the focal point! Everyone knows there's a toilet in there ... otherwise, it wouldn't be a bathroom. Enjoy these photos, then scroll down for some hints on shooting bathrooms:
- If there's no way to avoid including the toilet, at least CLOSE THE LID!!
- Don't center the toilet in your shot ... focus on the vanity, the bathtub, the shower curtain ... anything but the toilet.
- Don't take a picture of your reflection in the mirror ... just don't! Move to another spot, crouch down, clone it out, whatever. There's no excuse for something as silly as this.
- Try to avoid shooting from eye-level - you'll usually get better results shooting from a lower point-of-view (3 to 4 feet above the floor).
- Mirrors can be your friend ... some bathrooms are very small and, even with a wide-angle lens, it's difficult to show a lot of the space. When possible, use the mirror to capture other areas of the room:

Nothing is interesting about a toilet except the English ones that spray your bottom, and even that doesn't seem very interesting to VB!
Too funny-- definitely close the lid -- how hard can that be?!
Comical post but unfortunately true. I raed a post on here one time about whether or not it was important to leave the seat do or up. I commented the lid should be down, so no need to worry about the seat. I cannot believe the question was even posed.
Wallace I need some GREAT HUMOR... yes to shot the tiolet.. LOL... anyway have a fabulous week, I can't imagine it's 4th of July in a few days... where has year gone !
