Picture Perfect Summer

The summer brings with it so many great outings, vacations, reunions, ballgames and BBQs.  It's a season made for capturing in pictures.

And it's the time when we all pull out the old, digital camera in hopes of snapping that perfect photo.  Before you do, keep in mind these simple tips to ensure yours make it thru to Fall. I've been known myself to have the perfect shot, only to run out of battery or space on my memory card.  So here are my recommendations:

- Purchase an additional memory card.  Most cameras come with a card that only holds a handful of photos.

- Set your camera so that it takes mid-sized photos.  If you don't adjust the photo size, you'll never be able to send photos of your trip to the Outer Banks to Grandma!

- Be sure to pack an extra battery.  It never fails that when you need it the most, the battery life is gone.

- And a theme for those who've been reading our blog the past few weeks, be sure to download and back up your photos.  I'd hate to see you lose them months later. 

If you have a recommendation on picture taking you'd like to share, post it in a comment here.  At least in my case, my picture taking skills can only improve.
