Easy tip for showing off the media room

Sometimes a huge flat screen TV takes over a real estate photo.  A big black hole in the middle of the room. Pasting in a photo can be a lot of work if you're processing your own photos.  So here's an easy tip for better media room photos.  Have the homeowner freeze frame what's ever on TV.  I like using the Cartoon channel or the Golf channel.  There's so much color on both channels. Sports channels are really good too especially if there's a big green field or a tennis court in the TV frame.

Here's the steps to get a photo like the one below.
1. Ask the homeowner to go to the Cartoon channel or Golf channel.
2. Click 'freeze' on the remote when something is colorful on the TV.  In the below photo, the owners chose Tom and Jerry. (Who doesn't like Tom and Jerry?)
3. Wait for the channel banner to disappear.
4. Take your photo.  Voila'!


This can easily be done with any TV, the remote just has to have a freeze button. There are many ways to get this effect but I've found this the easiest and quickest and renders excellent results.




...and here's another one.  The owner popped in a DVD for this one.
