NEW WAYS TO USE YOUR DIGITAL CAMERA FOR FUN AND PROFIT
By Valerie Goettsch If you’re only using your digital camera for vacation and family photos, you’ve just scratched the surface of your camera’s uses. Digital photography has opened a new world of possibilities. Here are some fun, practical, and maybe even profitable, ways to use your digital camera.
Enhance your photo before uploading to an online dating service Selling goods on eBay Archive photos of your personal possessions in case of fire or theft Digital Scrapbook Have fun with your camera and let your imagination explore the boundaries.
Valerie Goettsch publishes the digital photography website http://www.digitalphotos101.com featuring reviews of photo editing and album software and digital photo printing services.
As online dating services become more and more popular, you may be considering this option to meet Mr. or Ms. Right. You’ll want to look your best to capture the attention of your potential mate, so how about brighter eyes and whiter teeth? It’s pretty easy to enhance your digital photo using inexpensive photo editing software such as Foto Finish or Jasc Paint Shop Pro. You can adjust the overall brightness and contrast to generally brighten the image. Zoom in on your eyes and using the software’s polygon or magic wand tool, select just the whites of your eyes. Then use the ‘adjust color’ or ‘adjust exposure’ tool to make your eyes brighter and less red. Similarly, you can zoom in and select your teeth, then adjust the color and exposure. And voila! A fresher, more alert and attractive-looking you.
Research shows that merchandise with attractive photos sell at better prices. People are naturally drawn to appealing images. To show your items at best advantage, you can rig an inexpensive tabletop “studio” using a sheet of non-glare white plastic and a PVC pipe for support. The important points to remember are having a uniform background behind and below the object and even lighting, either with shop lights or natural sunlight (through a window—it’s best to shoot indoors). You may need to adjust the white balance on your digital camera, which is easy to do on most new cameras. Then you can watch the auction bids rise on that antique clock you’re trying to sell.
Using your digital camera, you can quickly and easily take photos of your personal possessions such as TVs, DVD players, stereo equipment, furniture, computers and other expensive items so you have a record of them for insurance purposes. Be sure to log serial numbers and keep a record of purchase prices too. For safekeeping, transfer the images to a CD and keep it in a safe deposit box, or upload the images to an online photo storage service that offers unlimited storage, such as Pixagogo.
Digital scrap booking, or computer scrap booking, is the newest way to preserve your family memories. Using inexpensive, easy-to-use scrapbook software, you can create entire scrapbook layouts and add fun fonts and graphics to take your scrapbook project to a new creative level. Computer scrap booking has really taken off in the last year because people are finding it is less expensive, fast and takes up less space (no more taking over the family dining table) to make a computer generated scrapbook versus traditional scrap booking techniques. Most people already have a computer and digital camera, and once you have a scrap booking graphics software package and perhaps invested in a scanner for older photos, you're ready to go. You can easily color correct images, lighten dark photos, crop out old boyfriends, and even erase scratches from old photos. Most software programs come with special effects so you can enhance your photos and pages with antique sepia tones, torn or burnt edges, crinkles, soften or fade the edges, add digital picture frames, and much more.

Binoculars.com August Sales Up 165% Over the Previous Year
By Anonymous With a fresh storefront at binoculars.com which focuses on conversion rates, the company has honed its craft into a customer centered science. “Late summer and early fall sales have been fantastic with this new site.” Says CEO Daniel Thralow. “Nevertheless, since 50% of all binoculars are purchased as gifts, the bar has risen as we prepare for the holidays.”
Thralow continues, “In the early years we simply tried to drive more eyeballs to our site. Over the last 18 months we have shifted additional resources to the conversion of our existing traffic. We have always known that conversion is driven by treating customers correctly. We have also known that the web site is where customer service starts. However, what we persistently miscalculate is how extremely critical the numerous characteristics of the website are.
Binoculars.com shows at least two running versions of the site. Website viewers are randomly given one version of the site and if they place an order it is considered a vote for that version. The company listens to its customers in order to drive the evolution of the web site. This is done by testing aspects of the site daily like picture placement or layout changes. One of the best ways that our customers communicate with the site is by placing orders online. Says Thralow, “Obviously we test criteria such as conversion and profit, but we also test for more cloudy data such as leads of potential customers.”
About Binoculars.com – Binoculars.com was started in the picturesque city of Duluth, Minnesota and is a division of Thralow Inc, a company that specializes in niche oriented e-commerce companies. Among the 9 different divisions of Thralow Inc are Telescopes.com, Peepers.com, Pans.com and Eyewear.com. Duluth is located in northern Minnesota with some of the most beautiful views of Lake Superior and the boreal forest, an ideal headquarters for an emerging optics corporation where nature is abundant.

How to Buy the Right Digital Camera
By Kathleen Wade How to Buy the Right Digital Camera
When buying a digital camera there are many things you should consider. First you should understand how a digital camera works. What you are using your digital camera for will help you decide what features to consider and how much you should spend. I am here to educate you and help you decide.
Let’s start with understanding how a digital camera works. A digital camera uses semiconductor chips instead of conventional film. It’s usually a Charged Coupled Device (CCD). When your shutter opens, light strikes the CCD, temporary electronic changes to the CCD and converted into computer language and recorded on either internal or removable memory. After which the images can be viewed on a small screen located on the back of the camera. Later, then of course downloaded to a computer. Did that make sense? It probably didn’t if this is your first time buying a digital camera. Let’s move on.
Today there are endless cameras to choose from. You obviously have a price range in mind. If you are mainly using it to exchange snapshots over the internet or for creating quick and simple advertising, don’t expect to spend more than $500.00. If you want some control over creation and images, expect to spend between $600 and $2000, especially if you want to make prints on a printer capable of “photo quality” reproductions. If only the ‘best will do’ for you than don’t expect to spend anything less than $5000.
You also have to consider what features you would like. The heart of the camera is the CCD. The larger it is, the more pixels it contains. As expected, the more pixels, the more it costs. If you just want to email your mom 500 miles away a snap shot of a 3 x 4 of your first born, a CCD with about 640 x 480 pixels will do. If it’s a 5 x 7, than do not settle for less than 1280 x 1024 pixels. An 8 x 10 demands about 2000 x 1500 pixels. Also important things to consider are memory, types of flashes, and ease of download.
Depending on what you plan to use your digital camera for will depend on how much you will spend. Keep the previous and following advice in mind before you leave to purchase your first camera and maybe it will be your last.
A.Start out with the least expensive camera that will do the job today. Kathleen Wade
B.Make sure that the camera you are purchasing is compatible.
C.Ask if the camera you are purchasing can accept an external power supply. Digital cameras eat power faster than your car. You don’t want to spend endless amounts of time sitting in line buying batteries for your camera.
D.See if the software that comes with your camera has a photo-editing program.
E.Lastly, ask your friends, neighbors, relatives how satisfied they are with their cameras.
