#1 Post by Ives »

Hey all,
I want to take some good pics before I go in, and also keep a history of changes throughout this process. Any good techniques out there for doing this? Use a mirror maybe, or I guess I could ask my wife to help me.
We have a nice digital camera to use.

Thanks
Ives

My pictures all looked terrible until I learned to turn the flash off and use the macro mode so I could zoom in well. Your camera's manuel might have instructions for doing these things.

If pictures are still coming out blurry, it could be that your camera isn't being held still enough while the picture is being taken. A tripod would help.

Finally, don't forget to brush your teeth and rinse them well before you take the pictures.

Good luck!
