Hey, Joe, how about an updated photo count. I mean I know who's going to win (and it ain't me! ), but it would be fun to see where we are these days.

Oh wow, I didn't know I was so high up on this list. I'll have another one commin your way either today or tomorrow, as I found another site in my area. Maybe one day i'll even cross the boarder into queens and snap another hundred!

[Fire14]

I have been slacking off, due to numerous reasons. I need to get back out there & get some pictures again, before the leaves start coming back on the trees.

Agreed- I will start taking my new 7 mega pixel camera out with me and snap some pictures.

[Jonathan Kramer]

7MP! I agree...it's quality (too), not just quantity!

I got my hand on a 5MP super digital zoom camera today and got some pictures of the local Nextel site being fitted for hybrid Sprint use.

Hey I just got a new 7MP camera as well! I usually have to scale them down to 3MP though because otherwise they are too big to upload here.

Maybe we got the same kind, he he. I still need a memory card for mine, though, so it's not quite operational yet(the internal memory only holds a dozen or so pictures). I ordered a 2GB memory card online.

Anyways, back on topic.

My camera came with almost no memory. I could only fit about 5 pictures at a time using 5MP. So I went to Best Buy and picked up a 1GB memory card for $34.99 with a $15.00 mail in rebate off of that. So $20.00 for a memory card is not bad.

What file size do you need to make it convenient to upload pictures from these cameras? Maybe I can up the limits if it isn't too huge.

Well when I tried to upload the 5MP or 7MP pics I couldn't do it. But the 3MP worked. I can't remember what the file sizes it rejected were but next time I'll make a note of it. I'm a little new at the digital camera thing.

[Quint101]

I almost feel bad for posting my cell sites with my 1.3MP phone camera I'll try keeping quality in mind. I don't have a digital camera

Hey that's what I had been using for the past year. It worked pretty well.

Yes, just find out the file sizes of some of the pictures you have on hand.

Of the pictures I have on hand the largest one appears to be 2.70 MB and most averaging around 2.5 MB.

[Yankees368]

Heres a tip, any picture that you have that is too large for the forums, open it in MS paint, and resave it. That usually cuts down a multi-megabyte file to a few hundred KB.

BTW...added 1 more site today: http://gallery.wirelessadvisor.com/showimage.php?i=3131

Thank you very much for your heads up on this, Yankees. I did not know that!

Alright I'll try that. Thanks for the tip.

Update. That worked!

Great! Now you can take 7MP pictures and never worry!

[JFB]

I up'd the file size limit to 2.5x1024x1000 = 2.5MB. See how that works.

Thanks, Joe. More size = better photos!

Thank you, Joe. When school isn't keeping me busy 24/7 I will try out my new camera and post some new pics...

[Grimreaper]

Threw you a few downed towers from Katrina.


I have a couple shots from the totaled St Marys MTSO on my other machine. Try to get those up including all the gators that were INSIDE the security fence after the water receded.

Grim, great photos!

Wow, I surprised that I'm still #3 on that list. I haven't posted any new pictures in quite some time so I figured I'd be way down the list now.
I've found a bunch of new sites, just haven't been able to get pics.
