When we used to use those old instamatic cameras (remember the ones with 110 film), my pictures would generally look like I had a nervous condition.

Now with the new digital cameras, the pictures don't look shaky and are very crisp, but because of the delay, I get the subject moving away from the camera. I have a lot of pictures of my dogs' rear-ends!

Thankfully, the kids know to hold a pose long enough for mom to get the shot (although there's usually a lot of grumbling going on, too.)

Ohh, that's better than me... I always made pictures of poles or trees. Right in the middle of the frame. Did it with my analog camera, still do it with my digital camera.

how about this one : "How razorback-jumping frogs can level six piqued gymnasts!"

If you do nothing else, take some time and learn how to switch to "sports" setting with your cameras. It captures the action to speedy internal memory and then sends it to removeable memory more slowly. I spend a lot of time around pools showing moms how to do this after dad has tossed the kids off his shoulders and into the water a dozen times, trying to get the action shot.

And a lot of cameras, such as mine, have a button you can push for sequential action shots. Can't think of the term, but it allows you to hold the button down and it click click click takes about 8 shots almost simultaneously. Usually at least one of them will be good.

good tips, and i'll take a look just in case, but since my "camera" is actually a telephone officially it might not have all the fancy bells and whistles. it's a good camera, for a telephone, (5 mp even), but still.

well well, for a telephone, this is a really good camera. i have a mode "sport" which seems to reduce drastically the delay before taking the photo (although it's not instantaneous, still) although it also seems to have an effect on the luminosity so probably it changes the ISO setting too, maybe not so good indoors, and i also have a "continuous shoot" mode which takes 9 photos in a row in less than a second. i'll definitely have to remember those.

DixieGal · 08-03-2009, 11:07 AM

WOW! That is a great phone! And have fun trying out the settings and seeing what you can do.

"Quartz jock vends BMW glyph fix" is a perfect pangram (all letters used once and only once).

Now if anybody can find a Youtube video that fits that I will be impressed.
