What type of camera did you use to get your photos? I can't get any that look good they all turn out blurry or the fish just look like streaks.

I use a Sony Cybershot, I can't afford a real good one. I just tried different settings till I started getting descent shots. They still aren't as good as ones taken with a more expensive camera, but on this site the perfect photo is not required.

I just have some cell phone pics and I don't even know how to put them on my computer. I guess if I knew it was good quality I'd figure it out. When my son comes over for the summer I'll use his camera, a semi decent digital.

I just use a Canon PowerShot SD100. It is fairly decent.

We got a Kodak Easy Share. I took 30 or 40 pics to get the few I posted.

I had a guy on my crew take a photo class this winter with a good camera. I think it was a Canon coolpics. He took a stop action photo of the blade on my table saw in close-up. It has speed settings on it that are outrageous. I think it went to 1/2000th of a second.

I use an older Fuji film S5100. It's only 4 MP, but works good. They key to good pictures isn't always the camera. It is usually the person taking the picture. If you play with settings for hours it usually helps to get things fine tuned.

I would agree with that, I played with my camera settings for some time and still do hoping to get better pics.

As you can tell with some of my pics some are crystal clear and some are very blurry. It's all aperture and shutter speed. Also back up a bit and try zooming in from other side of the room. Sometimes these pics come out the best. If you have a tripod use it! The steadier the camera the better the photo. Also I do burst photos like 3 photos each time then I go through and sort them out later to get the best shots. Hope these tips will help.
