Posting pictures in Gallery

[nursleshunt]

Okay I need help. I was trying to post some pictures of my pages in the gallery and I can't get the pictures to turn out right. Whenever I try to zoom in with my camera to try to get a good shot of the page, I end up cutting off some of the page. Whenever I zoom out to get the whole page in, the picture doesn't turn out right. It could be camera...but I am hoping not because its the only camera I've got. Anyway, I am hoping someone has some suggestions so that I can post some pictures.

I already answered ya, but I'll answer for anyone else too... :)

I put my scrapbook pages & cards on the floor in my kitchen & stand kinda over them to take photos so that the whole frame is filled up with the page. The lighting is better in my kitchen & I can stand so the overhead light & the window are in front of me so I don't have a shadow on the page. Usually I put the scrap page on a white poster board on the floor so that if I can't get it perfect on the edges of the scrapbook page, at least I have a plain border... but sometimes I forget! :D

(oh, my poster board is white on one side & dark blue on the other side. I use the white side for any colored pages, and the dark blue side for any white pages... :) )

I do better sometimes turning the flash off and I try to take the picture by my door with the natural light coming through

Thanks! Glad ya caught that!! I forget to mention it because I don't use the flash on my camera. On the rare occasion I need flash, I use an external one.
