I see you use PICASA, which is fine, but you might want to download GIMP which is free and can make your pictures much much better (sharpness, color contrast).maybelle's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067885057660475498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-73335015528434689762008-10-18T10:25:00.000-05:002008-10-18T10:25:00.000-05:00they are not terrible, but first I would say do no...they are not terrible, but first I would say do not use a flash at all. Place your plate in the brightest place in the kitchen. Set your camera's white balace to reflelct the light in the room (Florescent I would guess). Take the picture at the ISO setting. To avoid blur, make sure to hold the camera as still as you can by holding your elbows firmly to your side. Also, take many pictures. <BR/><BR/>I don't spend very much time taking my pictures, because I don't have much time. I have the setting all ready, so when I turn on the camera, I just hold it still click a few and then eat.maybelle's momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09067885057660475498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36379237.post-8475060860502829922008-10-15T09:20:00.000-05:002008-10-15T09:20:00.000-05:00thanks for forwarding me those links. while i do ...thanks for forwarding me those links. while i do have a point and shoot there are alot of different settings, and i pretty much stopped at the 'cusine' setting and turned the flash off.
