Damn.

So much for that camera.


Time to step up to a Nikon or Canon./



Reg:

I compiled an eBook last month of some of my 2007 photography. Burned a
large number of copies to CD and included them to friends, family and
clients inside Christmas Cards. The reviews have been very gratifying.
Would you like a copy? The file is too large (50mb) to send as an email
attachment, but I've read about a way of sending large files via a service
called YouSendIt (yousendit.com). I've been looking for an excuse to try
it. If interested, I just need a valid email address.

Absolutely spectacular!

Now why didn't my pictures of Yellowstone and Oak Creek Canyon come out
like that?

You really need to take a trip to DC and capture the local scenery! Maybe
with Reggie during cherry blossom time?

Would it be possible to share that with a friend of mine in Holland? He's
been through a lot of that country by motorcycle, so he'd appreciate the
work tremendously.

Thanks for sharing that. Most cool!

Been there, done it. I have a vey nice collection of DC shots. It's an
extremely photo-rich location. Unfortunately, my shots were taken quite a
number of years ago and reside on 35mm slides and some old prints of those
slides that are showing their years from fading. It's definitely a place
worth revisiting.

Sure. Go ahead and forward him the link. The link is only good for six
more days.

Is there an easy way or reasonable way to transfer slides to CD? My dad
left lots of slides and quite a few of them I would like to transfer to CD.

There are two ways to get it done. First is to buy or rent a quality slide
scanner such as the Nikon 5000 or equivalent and scan the slides yourself
into jpeg files to your computer's hard drive. A flatbed scanner isn't
going to get the job done with any level of quality. The files can then be
burned to CD or DVD. Unless you have a ****load of slides and like to do
this sort of thing, this is probably not the cost-effective or
time-effective way to do it. The other alternative is to take your slides
to a lab to have them scanned for a fee. They will scan your slides on
quality equipment (if you go to the right place) and burn them to CD or DVD
for you. If your slides need cleaned before scanning, they will do that for
a fee as well. Many photo print and processing labs will offer this
service, as well as the places that transfer video tape and film movies to
DVD. I'd hit the Yellow Pages and call a few local places to check prices
and at what resolution they will scan the slides.
