I have been listen to several mechers saying that they need to better their digital photography skills. Well, I had some free time today, so I found some good helpul info for them. This site here covers all the photography basics. Be sure to read the digital camera section and the light section, those will help you understand your camera and the light you use and little better! http://photographytips.com/page.cfm/1 Now this is something I wanted to throw in here too. You NEED to have an image editor if you want nice looking pics. I use Adobe Photoshop 6.0 and I recommend this to anyone who is serious. Downside, it's REALLY expensive. But I propose an alturnative...Jasc's Paintshop Pro 7.04. You can download the program for a 30 day free trial and enjoy. http://download.com.com/3000-2192-7057820.html?tag=lst-0-15 (it also has an uninstall with it too. :D He He He. You can't figure that out, e-mail me and I will tell you.) Paintshop is probably the best freeware-esque program you can find for editing. I hope you get some use out of this! out Tony Knaak http://www.ozbricks.com/legostuff/index/index.html http://www.ozbricks.com/legostuff/mechastruct.html
