>Twilight shot In real estate photography, twilight shots are common with expensive mcmansions, but they also work well on ugly homes and for homes with an ugly view, such as next to a cement factory. Twilight shots minimize the ugly features and make a property look really warm and inviting.
The key elements are to get your camera setup on a tripod, be at ISO 100 and f/8, and try to be composed about 30 minutes before sunset. There's a free android app called photographer's tools with daily sunrise/sunset times and golden/blue hour times. Google maps to see what direction a property faces. If the front faces east, do a sunrise shot. Facing west, do a sunset.
Shoot bracketed shots every few minutes as the sky color changes. I stay in manual mode or aperture priority and set my camera to take 3 bracketed shots (-2, 0, +2 exposures). If your camera doesn't let you do that automatically, then just take a normal exposure, then manually adjust shutter speed down two stops for the underexposed, and up four stops (two stops to get back to first exposure + two stops from first exposure) for the overexposed. Keep the camera perfectly steady on the tripod, if you can, control your camera from a tethered laptop or tablet using USB or your camera's wifi (if applicable).
Here's a tutorial showing the lightroom workflow.
