I personally think this is ridiculous. But to follow their rules, you have to get it right with the camera, and not through software.Susan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-70691408892610661952010-02-17T18:14:34.417-05:002010-02-17T18:14:34.417-05:00Okay, I'm not a great photographer either, but...Okay, I'm not a great photographer either, but my husband usually studies our photos more closely and edits and manipulates them in Corel Photo. From his experience, he tells me that it is better to take the photo without using the zoom because zooming amplifies any movements you've made when taking the photo. Obviously, this would not apply when using a tripod. So we crop the photo in Corel Photo and correct the colors as well. <br /><br />It's another way to go. Hope it helps.wordmamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07223539061981493778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-79922896762740531842010-02-17T11:05:04.790-05:002010-02-17T11:05:04.790-05:00Thanks, Deb!

I got a new camera for Christmas, mostly because I wanted one that could shoot my daughter on the soccer field, far away, and my old camera couldn't. It is a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. It is bigger than any camera I've had in years, but it can do a lot more. Here are the details:<br /><br />10 megapixels<br />20x wide zoom<br />optical image stabilizerSusan Brubaker Knapphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16490050360258082767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-39588255147980083682010-02-17T10:49:23.345-05:002010-02-17T10:49:23.345-05:00Really love your write up of photographing quilts!...Really love your write up of photographing quilts! I actually took a little course on photographing quilts, but seem much more complicated than you've outlined here! If you don't mind answering, what camera are you using? I think the reason everyone thinks you take such wonderful pictues is the composition of your shots!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01637174206038014595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089615911925785137.post-68424206992533292572010-02-16T23:34:13.702-05:002010-02-16T23:34:13.702-05:00I am the same way, always on auto.
