Also, since the Ashas are so sparkly, its best to take pics in natural daylight. _________________________ serviceatwinkjones@gmail.com Please send any quote requests to the above!

I have my ring and want to share, but my camera won't focus on the ring Thanks What kind of camera do you have? How many megapixels? I have a 3.0megapixel camera. Here is the secret: Don't zoom in too far. * Zoom in only about half as much as you think is necessary. * Half-press the button. This will focus the item. * If it doesn't focus, zoom out a bit, and pre-focus again. * Once it focuses, fully press the button. The trick is that web pictures don't need to be very big, but digital cameras take big pictures. For example, my camera takes fotos of 2048x1356 pixels (or little dots). A BIG web picture is 800x600. By zooming out, you are including a lot of non-ring. you just "cut out" the ring after you download the picture to your computer. All of the sudden, the image seems to blow up and you get a nice picture! Am I as clear as mud? Edited by Cyn (12/02/09 09:16 AM) Edit Reason: remove broken links

I find that by bringing up the picture and copying the url address from the toolbar you get the most accurate image. you compose your post and hit the IMAGE Icon then you post the url address and you should be able to see the picture directly on your post. The second way is if you bring up the image and rick click and go to properties you will see the URL address highlight right click to copy and just compose your post and follow the steps I gave you it should be a breeze. Hope this helps. SPY _________________________
