Cody, Welcome, nice first post-would love to know your camera specs and all- Hard to give an opinion w/o them. Anyway once again welcome and hope to see more!!

[Cody Newman]

Denise,

Thanks, not sure what you mean by hardware? This is my 1st attempt at anything other than a point and shoot. So I really dont now much about anything LOL. I joined here to learn and its all up from were i am :)

[denise ippolito]

Cody, I meant what Camera body you used, what lens you used, what focal length you shot it at, what your ISO was set on, what aperature you were using and what your shutter speed was. Sorry I tend to write in code on the net -guess I'm a lazy typer!! Anyway all that info is needed to give the proper guidance and or critique!

PS-If you aren't sure about anything or have a question just ask-This forum is filled with knowledgeable photographers who are very kind and willing to teach!! That's why I post here-I learn something new everyday!!!

ok guys,

New question? I have read the threads on how to resize image and am having no luck. It does say that if it is a JPEG it may have problems. Yikes i guess that is error number 1 for me LOL cause all I have are jpegs. Is there any way to due this and if so what are the dementions? I typed in 1024x800 and it REALLY took the quality down.

Camera info
Rebel XT 8 mega pixles on fine large jepeg
Cannon 75-300mm lens All picks @300
iso 200
Land scape mode
f 5.6
+_ is 0
AWB

Does that help????


Thanks to all for your help :)

I shoot in RAW , when you shoot in RAW it's like having the negative.
