Photo and drone shot lists
Lesson 2 of 6 · List it so it sells
1 · Learn the move · Template pattern
You get one good trip to shoot a tract, and a buyer three counties away will decide from the pictures whether to drive out. A shot list fixes the trip before you make it. The template pattern does the work: fixed columns, one row per shot, and a rule for what goes in a cell when your notes do not support the shot. Two cautions belong in the template itself. A photo is a claim, so a shot of the neighbour's pond framed to look like yours is a misrepresentation with a camera. And a boundary line drawn on an aerial image is a boundary claim no surveyor made. The drone column carries a third: flight rules, airspace and landowner permission are confirmed before you fly, not assumed.
Build a photo and drone shot list for my site visit as a table: SHOT | WHERE, FROM MY NOTES | WHAT IT SHOWS A BUYER | CAUTION. Rows only for features in my notes or documents. Any shot I might want but my notes do not support reads [NOT OBSERVED - confirm on site]. No boundary lines on aerials unless I have a survey. [site notes] [plat or survey if any]
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You are shooting a 26-acre tract in Bellmark County on Saturday, with a phone and a small drone. Your notes from the first visit mention a gate, a ridge with a view to the west, an old barn foundation and a pond you think sits on the line. You have the county's parcel map but no survey. Write the prompt that builds a shot list you can work from on site without shooting a claim you cannot back.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
Optional. These shape the output when you run your prompt below, not your score.
