I don't use any photo hosting place on the web. I re-size the pictures, store them on my computer, save them in Flash Drive or CD and upload them here. I would never trust a free place to keep my pictures intact.

There are many graphics software programs for re-sizing photos. I use a free one called Soap2. If you do anything with digital photos, you ought to have a program like this so you can crop & rotate, sharpen & color and re-size any pic, yet keeping the original for re-use.

Re-sizing is important so that the 1 Meg pic you took with your camera can be more easily sent in email and posted here without losing any of the clarity.

This works best for me because I often post pics that I have used many times before for answering the same question. Having it already stored here on the MB allows me to quickly select it to show the next new hobbyist.

I agree about the flash. The easiest thing to learn is to stand at an angle to the aquarium, so the glass does not become a mirror. Second easiest thing to learn is to turn off the flash and let the aquarium lights do the job.
While we are on the subject, a more difficult thing to notice when taking pics, is the glare of other well lighted objects in the room reflecting off the glass into the camera. Here is a good example:



The entire right corner of the tank looks messy because of the reflection of the other tank and the sunny front window.

Is this flash off of the glass? I think you need to practice different angles and distances from the tank to see if you can remove the flash reflection. I am not an expert so that is the best I can give you.]]> Sun, 18 Jul 2010 01:31:56 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41964&PID=368181&title=photography-discussion#368181 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41964&PID=368098&title=photography-discussion#368098 Author: bugzme

Most people use an outside source, such as http://www.photobucket.com and upload the pictures there. When you are done uploading you can click on one of the image codes and post them here. Just copy and paste.]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 01:54:00 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41964&PID=366947&title=photography-discussion#366947 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=41964&PID=366574&title=photography-discussion#366574 Author: PDoug
