Thank you...not much skill there though....I use a cheapo Samsung SL102 camera...and spent weeks taking dark, murky pictures of very blurry critters.

But, after brushing up on digital photography on the web and at the magazine rack in the bookstore...well, the results are pretty good.

I found that the secret to using this type of camera is all about resolution. I set the camera manually to the highest resolution and largest file sizes possible. Then I take multiple pictures of the subject.
When I say multiple, these pictures are the best ones out of 30 or so!

Often, I use Google's Picassa to crop the pictures and/or brighten up the ambient lighting. This is where big picture files come in handy. My eyeball avatar is just a crop from one of the regular pictures.
