Question, to post pictures of my work on the forum, as some members asked me to, HOW? If I take photographs with my phone, filling the frame, will that do? what do I forward them to if they will be ok? Any advice appreciated.

Personally I would upload them directly to the forums their setup is damn goodly and will resize larger pics.
I used to mess about with editors on my confuser but no longer need to simply snap and load and they come out greadly.

Nice photo, looks a bit HDR, almost 3D, is it ?

Thanks Steven yes HDR over 5 shots 2 under 2 over it is difficult to catch what you see with the human eye on a camera as the eye has a far greater dynamic range than any camera the colours on this shot are quite real as at certain times of the year they look just like this in the highlands. I did not mean to hijack the thread but thought Bill would appreciate a wee bit of home.

Hi Phil and Bill yes that is Glencoe taken in September the Heather is still out but the Autumn was on the way think it is about a 40 minute drive from you Phil and taken near where the wee road from the village joins back up with the main road in the Glasgow direction.

We have spent several nights there in the old campervan that we had. Wish I could match your prowess with a camera, what is all that jargon, camera wise about?
I took lots of pictures of my turnings, pens and others, with my camera, could not get them onto my laptop, tried the same with my phone with the same no result, back to the drawing board!

Why's that I wonder Bill?:thinks:

If your camera and phone are saving your photos to a memory card, which they probably are, when you connect them to your computer, you need to search for the DCIM file, not the camera file. Does that help, or am I barking up the wrong tree? - perhaps you have a different problem.

Hi Bill,

As Phil says you will have a memory card in the camera and in the phone although the memory card in the phone will be very small in physical size. There are 2 ways to get the photo's into your PC when you bought the camera you should have had in the box a wee cable with a USB plug on one end and a small (tiny) plug on the other the tiny end goes into the camera and the bigger one plugs into the PC when you connect the camera to the PC switch the camera on the PC will recognize that a USB device has been connected and will download a driver automatically just let this happen it only does this the first time you connect the camera any time after it just recognizes the camera. If you now click start and my computer it will give you a list of drives and you will see the camera listed as a drive double click and you should see all your pictures you can then copy and paste which photo's you want to keep into a folder of your choice.
Mobile phone works the same way but to complicate things further you can download via WiFi.

The second method of getting pictures on your PC is via the card in the camera itself but you need a card reader for this some PC's and laptops have these built in and this is quicker and I prefer this method but you need to take the card out of the camera and into the slot in the PC.
