: Thanks James, that's what I was hoping to
: hear. I'll follow your advice regarding
: irfanview and download it. I have a few
: more items to photograph that I think you'll
: like. I'll work on them over the weekend.
: Now it's off to my doctor's office for a
: check-up. Dave

: The lighting set-up you describe is exactly
: the same as the one I use when taking
: pictures indoors during our (very
: infrequent) cloudy periods. I think taking
: really sharp and clear pictures depends far
: more on good lighting and steady camera hold
: (tripod where possible) than the
: sophistication of the camera.
:
: I also think irfanview (free download) is
: the best image manipulation (crop and
: resize) facility available - easy to set-up
: and use (very intuitive).

: James, I went through the iPhone 5 learning
: curve myself so I know what you're going
: through.
: I will definitely start using a tripod for
: close-ups and I'm putting together a mini
: studio for indoor shots according to some
: plans I found online. Right now my
: questions revolve around what kind of
: lighting I should use. We don't have the
: consistent daylight here in Philadelphia
: that you have in Arizona. By the way, I was
: and still am a big fan of Arizona Highways
: and its wonderful photography. I thought
: about using cheap spotlights, the clip-on
: kind with the aluminum shades and a couple
: of 100 watt daylight CFL's, to keep the heat
: down. Is this a reasonable solution?

: Please excuse my tardiness in answering,
: Dave
: - Beverly and I just bought new I-phones and
: we are struggling through the learning
: curve.
:
: I use a seven year old inexpensive digital
: camera - a Pentax Optio W10. I take the
: majority of my pictures using natural day
: light and hand hold the camera - except for
: close-up shots when I set it in macro-mode
: (sometimes using a mini tripod for
: steadiness).
:
: I use "IrfanView" (free software)
: to crop and resize the pictures but do not
: do any "enhancing" of them.
:
:
:
: Shoot some questions, Dave, and I will
: answer as best I can.

: James, What type of camera and lighting
: equipment do you use for your website
: photos? They are so clear, especially the
: closeups. I just bought a new camera(Canon
: 260), which is basically a fancy point and
: shoot model with a high megapixel number and
: a 20x zoom lens , for shooting outdoor and
: indoor shots at my antique tool club (CRAFTS
: of NJ) functions. Dave
