Near where I live is a memorial plaque to the casualties of Sheffield's fist Zeppelin raid.My Granny saw it in the searchlights,but the gunners on the Manor Top Battery were in the boozer and too drunk to hit it!!!
If I photograph this memorial with a digital camera can I send it without a scanner?

I should have thought so. Strangely my Granny from Sheffield also saw a Zep when she was a little girl, but it was over London.

Owls or Blades?

Ginger,

A digital camera is ideal. The image is stored in .jpg format (or different format if higher resolution is required). There will be no requirement for a scanner. A scanner takes a "cardboard" hard copy photograph, and converts it to a digital image in .jpg format. The digital camera already produces this image. It can be blown up, or scaled to almost any dimensions, can be deleted and re-shot immediately if incorrectly taken, there is no film to develop. This will save you a LOT of money. Purchase a power adapter for the camera for downloading pics to your computer, as this takes time. Other than that, and the cost of batteries, you will enjoy a digital camera.

A friend took a shot of me with a digital camera...it was a close-up, and I was amazed by the quality of the picture (too bad the face didn't meet the same standard).
Yep, once you've gone digital, everything else is history.

To get back to your original question - the answer is NO YOU CAN'T SEND IT, well not to this forum.

You will have to have your own web site first, and put your photograph on it (whether by scanning a photographic positive or by taking out a 2nd mortgage to get a half decent digital camera). Then, in your message, you have to include a link to your web site - not worth the trouble is it unless you already have a web site.

You can send pictures by e-mail, but they've got to be scanned or come direct from a digital camera.

I'm a blue and white man too! So if we got a draw away from home with 10 men that's got to be good, right? How did they look to you? Please say the back four were looking more solid than in Premiership days!

We have a digital camera but a duff scanner at the moment.You'll have to forgive my ignorance,this computing malarky is beyond me.When you fly three patrols a day some things need delegating,my lad is the squadron's Uncle.
