How To Get Good Digital Pix Of Your Alembic?

[David Houck]

Hey!  There's a picture of a cute little kitten!

I use paint shop pro to downsize pictures quickly and easily.  It is far easier than photoshop, which I use for other purposes.  In paint shop pro, you can just choose, image-resize... and then downgrade it by percentage, or pixel number.  Then I usually just make them 600 pixels for posting and save the original for displaying if somebody clicks on the 600 pixel version.

I simply use the 'save for web' option in Adobe Photoshop CS2. You can vary the quality/resolution and/or the measurements of your picture very easily, and you can see the file size change while you do, before having to save anything.
 
And as the pictures of my new Orion in the Showcase section prove, I still prefer to take bass pictures outside, specifically in the early evening of a bright sunny day, sometimes with, but most of the time without using the flash.

Update: a new and better digital camera makes all the difference. Since last week I've got a Canon PowerShot A710 IS, not expensive at all, and it's great for bass photography! Image stabiliser, a very functional macro setting and 6x optical zoom!
 
Highly recommended!
