Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Thanks phyl, wow was that done with Photo shop? I need to find a copy of that, the software I have doesn't have many options and you saw what happens to the pic when I try to adjust it. I'm thinking I should have gotten the Nikon for the main reason your the closest to me with knowledge of camera's I really didn't think taking a pic would be such a PITA, Taking a class at this time is not a option I got too much going on and freehold is a little far for me, my son is graduating 8th grade today and my nephew is graduating High school next week. I think OCC has class and it's right down the road, when I get some free time I'll look into it.
Tom, Have you tried to get the Zoom Browser Software from Canon? It's decent software, and gives you the exif information so you can adjust your settings and understand them a little better.
If you are going to the next meeting we can sit down for a bit and go through some of the settings...although I'm hardly a pro @ it or anything...I can fumble my way around with the best of them!
