We are all here to help, but if you live in the same town as the person you want to use pictures from, it....well....you get the idea. HAHA!!!

I don't have that many I can offer you. When you do start taking pictures, here's a few tips that will make a huge difference in the quality of your photographs.

1) Use a tripod or mark the spot where you are going to take before and afters so you will have the exact same camera angle and cropping.  Move in or zoom in close enough so the left and right edge of the roof is tight in the frame, minimizing the amount empty foreground and background space, to make the roof stand out more.

2) Use a step ladder to get up higher to give you a better angle or get on the roof and shoot a few shots up top also.

3) Lighting -  Roofs with a lot of shade or tree cover with funky shadows casting on the roof don't look as good.  Ideally the most dramatic before and after images are taken when it's overcast for the before pictures (dark and hideous) and bright and sunny (high noon) for the after pictures.  Let it rain a few times to rinse off all the mold good to give you the cleanest possible shots prior to taking the after pictures.

4) Crank up the contrast on the before pictures on photo shop, so you can see the streaks better.
