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.
