The ShiaNet Technology Development Department Presents:

Beyond Bricks and Mortar: Introduction to Digital Photography

Got a new digital camera?  Like many of us, you’ve got your new zillion-mega-pixel toy, and you have been gleefully sending e-mail's containing 10MB of photos to grandma.  Unfortunately, grandma’s email is probably reaching maximum capacity and causing the poor girl a lot of trouble.  Instead, upload your images to an on-line storage service such as ophoto.com.  Send grandma the link to your on-line photo album, and she can download them at her leisure. Photo by Doug Cornell

Or you might prefer to print out your pictures.  While there are many high-quality photo-printers available, they are expensive to operate.  Take you digital images to a local developer and get real prints made.  We checked the big local chain stores, and both Meijer and Wal Mart offer do-it-yourself digital print services.  Simply slide your camera’s memory card (or floppy or CD) into their computer, and select the photos you want printed.  Simple image editing software is provided.  At both stores, the staff is knowledgeable and ready to help.

Meijer prints the images with a laser printer, and the images are crisp and vibrant.  Wal Mart has a new system that prints digital images directly upon the same Fuji printer that is used for film photos.  Prints cost as little as $.29 each, and since you only print the images you want, you may save money in the long run. 

If you’d like a poster-sized print of your favorite digital image, Edwards Sign and Screen Printing (1585 S. M-52, Owosso) can create large, high-resolution posters and signs.  Give Doug Edwards a call at 725-2988.
