While attending my grandson Blake's soccer game last week I really notice a new accessory item for women and moms in particular. A digital camera. Small point and shoot cameras, prosumer models and full blown professional cameras. Most of the cameras that I saw were smaller point and shoot models. In a variety of different colors, blue ones, red ones, green ones, big ones little ones. Dr. Seuss could write a new book about them. Mothers, frantically trying to catch that perfect photo. Well maybe not the perfect photo but a least one of their child on the field.
The mothers would share with each other the pictures they had taken each in turn viewing the display window of each other’s cameras. Smiles, comments and laughter abounded as each shared the pictures on their camera.
Now this brings up a new set of problem for most people. How do I show off my pictures? Most people have mastered turning on their camera and which button to press to take a picture. Some have even figured out how to take their camera off auto but they struggle with getting the pictures out of the camera and into a format that others can view and enjoy their pictures.
Several of my friends have asked me how to get more images on their camera because their memory card was full. The simple answer is getting a bigger memory card. However this is not the best answer to this problem.
Thankfully along with the growth of digital cameras the ability to display and share your photos have never been easier. The internet is specially geared to become your personal gallery. Many programs are available to download, most for free, that will help you process your images. Sites like Google, MySpace and Facebook have several different ways to help you share your photos. The new smart phones all have the ability to take a photo and then up load it for you to share with the world.
So get out that dreaded instruction manual that came with your camera or smartphone and get your photos off your camera and into your gallery.
