More About Dunedin
Dunedin /dəˈniːdɪn/ is a city in Pinellas County, Florida, United States. The name comes from Dùn Èideann, the Scottish Gaelic name for Edinburgh, the capital of Scotland. Dunedin is the 5th largest city in Pinellas County. The population was 35,321 at the 2010 census.
Dunedin is home to several beaches, including Dunedin Causeway, Honeymoon Island, and Caladesi Island State Park, which is consistently rated among the best beaches in the world. Dunedin is one of the few open waterfront communities from Sarasota to Cedar Key where buildings do not completely obscure the view of the Intracoastal Waterway and the Gulf of Mexico beyond; a 1-mile (1.6 km) stretch of Edgewater Drive (also known as Alternate US 19) south of downtown offers views of St. Joseph Sound, Clearwater Beach, and Caladesi Island. Downtown Clearwater and Clearwater Beach are a 6-mile (10 km) drive south on Edgewater.
The downtown business district is notable for its absence of large commercial signage, corporate franchise restaurants or chain retail stores. The Pinellas Trail, a 39-mile-long (63 km) bicycle and pedestrian trail that traverses all of Pinellas County, bisects downtown Dunedin. A large portion of the trail lies on the former roadbed of the Orange Belt Railway, the first railroad in Pinellas County, which arrived in 1888.
Since 1977, Dunedin is the spring training home of the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as the class-A Dunedin Blue Jays of the Florida State League. Dunedin is one of the smallest communities used by Major League spring training teams, although surrounded by a large metropolitan area. TD Ballpark is situated next to the Dunedin Public Library a few blocks south of downtown on Douglas Avenue, and is just two blocks east of Edgewater Drive. The stadium was built as a replacement to Grant Field, the Blue Jays’ first spring training ball park. The library was founded in 1895 and is the oldest public library in Pinellas County.
Until early 2005, Dunedin was the home of Nielsen Media Research’s production operations. The city is home to multiple breweries including Dunedin Brewery, Florida’s oldest microbrewery.

1. Specialized Expertise: Photographers who exclusively shoot real estate possess specialized expertise in capturing properties in the most appealing way. They understand the unique challenges and nuances of photographing different architectural styles, layouts, and lighting conditions commonly found in real estate. Their experience allows them to bring out the best features of a property, showcasing it in its most attractive light.
2. Composition and Staging Knowledge: Real estate photographers have a keen eye for composition and staging. They know how to arrange furniture, utilize props, and create visual flow within a space to make it look inviting and desirable. Their understanding of how to frame shots and create a sense of scale adds value to the property, making it more appealing to potential buyers.

5. Marketing and Online Presence: Real estate photographers who specialize in their field often have a deep understanding of the industry's marketing needs and online platforms.
