Photographing bright windows

Keep outside detail clear while your interior bracket stays lined up.

Bright windows often need more exposures than the room around them. Choose the view with care. Remove reflections only when allowed, and keep the camera still through the bracket.

Keep useful detail

  • Check the darkest photo for outside detail and bright trim.
  • Check the brightest photo for detail in the room’s shadows.
  • Take another exposure if bright or dark detail is missing.

Do not promise that a window view can be replaced. Record the view you took and follow the listing’s editing rules.
