Ok, so I see a lot of you are really interested in seeing my plot. So, to facilitate matters, can anyone give me a quick rundown of how to use my new digital camera (It's one of those tiny Fujifilm from Circuit City) to link it onto the computer.

I haven't read any of the directions yet, so to get the plot up faster, I was hoping some of you had some quick easy steps I could take (from taking the picture to hosting the image). I have never used a digital camera before, let alone hooked it up to the computer.

Thanks again guys for the help, and sorry about my camera ignorance.

 

1. Install the camera software/drivers.
2. Plug that black cable into the "Digital" port on the camera, then the other end into the USB or serial port on the computer.
3. Turn the camera on, might have a PC mode on the "mode wheel"
4. Depending on the camera, it'll either have it's own software or it'll show up in windows explorer, you'll have to figure out that part...
5. Copy said picture to harddrive
6. Upload it to a hosting server (imagestation, or IM me I'll host the image)
7. Post it here.

Without knowing what camera you have that's about the best I can do off the top of my head.

 

Thanks a lot Dave! I'll try to apply all of that as soon as I get home tonight. If I have any problems with the actual posting, I hope you don't mind if I email you.

 

once you get it uploaded on to your hard drive, then goto http://www.imagestation.com and upload your pix there, then post the image here so we can all see it

 

hell - dave will host it, I will host it...good plots always can find a home!

 

I think my aunt was mayor of Thousand Oaks, Ca a couple years ago....just thought I would throw that in..
