    Professionally Researched. (What's this?)

    Preparing the Area

    Make sure countertops are clean and cleared of any distracting objects. Turn on the kitchen lights, and pick a time when natural sunlight also fills the room. Sunlight should not appear in streaks across the counters. A slightly overcast day is ideal for lighting.

    Photographing

    For real estate pictures, a wide-angle camera lens generally works best to get fuller views. Set up a tripod to avoid camera shake. Use a slow shutter speed to properly expose the photos. Take some photos using the flash, and some without. Using a flash likely will pick up more details in the granite. If there is a glare, move the tripod, and take the photos from another angle.
