[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica][FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica]One last thing about photos. While some magazines will use photos freom digital cameras as low as 3 megapixels, all prefer photos from cameras with at least 5 megapixel capacity. MR demands it. I recommend at least a 5 megapixel camera. My camera writes 6 megapixel images to memory. Also, always shoot using a tripod to steady your camera and always shoot with the camera set to the highest F-stop number. I manually set the F-stop to the highest number and leave the shutter speed in AUTO. Unlike with a flim camera, there is no need to "bracket" photo exposure with a digital, at least mine.
Another point, I no longer use photos floods for indoor photography. Where this is mandatory with a film camera, they are not needed with good digital cameras. I adjust my camera's WHITE BALANCE against a sheet of white copy paper under lighting from a pair of standard 100 watt light bulbs you can buy at any local store. The camera then knows what white is and recalibrates all colors accordingly. The result is perfectly color balanced photos without the need of any expensive photo lighting. Talk about cheap![/FONT][/FONT]
