Is it right to assume that it's better to take pics during the day time in
natural light?

I suppose it will be a case of trial and error.  Take a few close up's then
download them to see how they turn out and adjust technique accordingly.

I'd appreciate if you could email a few of your projects.  From what I've
seen on your auction  pics the Kodak DC's have a very good output in the
right conditions.

What's the ideal setting for taking pics keeping in mind the Kodak DC 265
has three resolutions; 1536 x 1024, 1152 x 768 and 768 x 512?
It also has Best, Better and Good quality modes.

Should closeups utilise the highest res setting and longer range pics
utilise the lower res mode or should I just leave the setting at the highest
res and adjust later in post production?


Thanks

Sanjay
