Digital Picture Overload?

If you are like me you have hundreds of photos, and unlike me they are probably all really good. But regardless of whether they are good or not organizing them can be a daunting task. I found these tips which may help you.

1. Don't Save Everything...Resist the urge to hold onto bad pics or duplicates
2. Name Wisely...Don’t rely on the gobbledygook that the computer automatically gives a photo
3. Transfer to a disk...Save your digital pics onto a high-quality DVD or CD
4. Utilize photo websites...But don’t trust just any old site
5. Get yourself some hardware...An external hard drive is great for extra storage and will allow you to have those images for years to come
6. Make hard copies ...Of course the beauty of digital cameras is that you don’t have to waste the time or money printing an entire roll of film.

Start a Photography Hobby...

Obviously...All You Need to Get Started in This Hobby is a Camera...

Photography is a hobby that anyone with a camera can sink their teeth into. It allows freedom of expression in so many ways, that one doesn't have to feel limited or stifled. Nor does it require an expensive camera. Today's digital cameras are not only affordable, but have built-in technology that allows even an amateur photographer to capture quality usable images.
Getting Started in Photography

Before getting started, make sure you have a digital camera that has good megapixel capabilities. 6.0 and up are a good place to start for people new to the hobby. A megapixel refers to the amount of resolution on an image. That translates into more detail in the finished picture, and also gives photographers more room for adjustments when tweaking an image in a digital software program.
