[Awibrandy]

congrats awilda.

so...... where are the pics? LOL

Thanks Jon! They're coming! This new cam has so many buttons, that for the first time ever I am going to have to read the manuals. :biglaugh:

But I did take a couple of pics of my Mother's Day Cake. hehe

 

[Awibrandy]

OK Jon here are the 1st. I have a long way to go before I understand this camera. :Yikes:

 

[crox99]

About time......I was waiting the whole day for your picsrangehat

 

[Awibrandy]

ROFLMAO Hey, I'm a housewife with a multitude of chores.

Now I gotta figuere out how to take smaller pics so that I can upload without having to resize.:biglaugh:

 

[marki24]

nice clams Awilda

 

[DEEPWATER]

are you using a tripod ?

 

[Awibrandy]

Thanks Mark.

My pictures are to big, and I don't know how to resize them. Sorry.
I tried the next best thing for me (crop), that didn't work either. On my comp. they're fine but here they are blurry.:Yikes:

Ronen,I guess you saw them before I could delete them. Soooooooooooory

 

[Tonyscoots84]

awilda come on, your skills are just begging to come out....

use irfanview u can get it off of google, just do a search... once you open it up in the program you go to resize and set the pic for 600 x 500 i think and then press ok, after that you can sharpen the picture and you should be set ...

 

[Awibrandy]

Photobucket didn't work either. Tomorrow I'll work from my old desk top. I am not liking this vista.

 

[Awibrandy]

Yes!!!!! Finally. one with flash, one without Good Night

 

[KathyC]

Go A!!! And it only took 83 reefberries to walk you through it
Tank is looking awesome...you'll need a bigger tank soon with all those corals. Think it's time I came over and fragged a few of those pieces..hehehe...


Were you standing on the sofa to take that pic? lol

 

[Tonyscoots84]

awilda use a tripod trust me... set the settings you prefer... i find the macro option works best for taking any pics with my POS digital... set the timer, set the position of the camera, set the settings u prefer press the picture button and step back ...

getting better by the way... the one with the flash looks alot better then the other...
