just download (free) VSO image resizer, when you load your pics on , right click the pic you want and resize the picture , im thick but found it easy

hi thanks i owe you a beer i am not far from you would you like to meet up send me a pm if so.
thanks dippy

hi can anyone now suggest a super duper camera for better pics
thanks dippy

I use a Canon SD1000 to take my photos....It's a great small all-around camera, with a great Macro setting for extreme close-ups of maker marks, etc.....
Some photos that I recently took with it can be seen at:

This camera can be found online for around $170.00, and is available for about the same price at Best Buy at Circuit City stores, if you have one near you...Happy Birthday!

Cheers,
Bob.

thanks very helpful its off to the camera shop for me,top pics wel done
thanks dippy

Depends what you are trying to do. I use a Sony Mavica FD92 that is 7-8 years old and you can get on eBay for under $100. Uses either floppies or a memory stick up to 128MB. Not good for vacation pics or distance stuff, but close up can be as good as you want.

Dave ... WOW... That is a Super Shot, using what most might conclude is an outdated Camera!

(The Photo quality MUST have a lot to do with the guy taking the Photo!)

1. Do you use a tripod, or some sort of stand, for these types of close-ups? Txs, Dave/dblmed

hi this is being breally helpful,i can see now you dont just point and shoot ,are there any other tips like backgrounds lighting etc.
thanks dippy

3 biggest tips I know of is,,,
1,Use a tripod...and 2, no matter how steady you think you are some cams are so sensitive even your finger pressing the button will make the shot blurry,,so use the timer!
And 3, use natural light. there's nothing better than a cloudy day

hi thanks gaspare at this rate i will give david bailey a run for his money.
thanks kev

Here is a picture taken with my Kodak Easyshare DX7630. Not an expensive camera but it does a nice job.
Also took it on a trip to Alaska and came home with over 700 pics stored in the memory.

This picture was taken with my little Kodak in Denali National Park. These bears were nearly half a mile away. This taken with the standard zoom lens.
BTW, this picture was taken the same day Katrina hit New Orleans in August 2005. Notice the snow on the ground>
