I'm trying to figure a way out to get pictures up. I want to show a few fish off as well as the coconut shells I make. I really want a digital camera but they are sooooo expensive. I really can't afford one at all. I was thinking of putting a post in the barter/trade section but I can't think of anything I have that someone might want. I could make simple decorations for a tank or maybe try and make a painting of a fish for someone, something like that but I can't think of too much else. Oh, I just thought of a few more things... I could write a song about someones pet... hahaha.. or I have an old computer monitor I plan on turning into a terrarium or something similar, I could trade that for a camera... I don't know, help me out... Right now my only option is taking pictures with my regular camera and scanning them.. The problem with that is when I take a picture of something I might still have a dozen pics left on the roll and don't know when I'll develop it... and then I have to go over my friends house to scan it and when I get the pic up on my pc it really doesn't look that great. If anyone has any suggestions or a digital camera they feel like giving me or there is something you might trade it for, please let me know... thanks... and fishfreek... those snowflakes are quite cool....... :lol:
 
The only suggestion I can make right now (besides saving your money and looking on Ebay) is to have your prints put on a CD at the photo developers, the quality should be higher than the scanned image if your friend has a low end scanner.
 
digital camera...

Hey reefrunner... I did get some pics on cd a while back. They came out ok. But to update, so no one thinks I need a camera, I got one the other week. I only have like two pics in my gallery but will get some more up soon. I was at Walmart and saw this camera on clearance. I'm sure it's a cheapo but it works. It was $85 marked down from $98. I had to buy a 128MB chip for it that costs $23 which isn't too bad considering how many pics I can take on it. It's a Concord eyeQ 3042AF if that means anything... 3.1 megapixels so that's not bad for what I paid for it. It has a digital zoom instead of an optical one but the pictures come out a lot better than if I tried to scan some at my friends house so I am happy. Haven't figured out all the buttons and stuff but I'm liking it. You'll see more pics from me soon...
