This month we discuss:
Here is a collage of some pictures from this month's example.
The images shown in this example are in the "computer" as a result of being obtained from a digital camera or from scanning a photograph or other item. The following shown images default to digital camera origin and, if not, the shown picture will be identified as a scanned image. If digital camera, the photograph has normally been taken at an Olympus Camera "HQ" setting of 1.3 megapixels (1280 x 960), with some pictures having been taken at less pixel detail ("SQ") 0.3 megapixels 640 x 480). In most cases, even if the digital picture was taken at these-mentioned sizes, the picture has been resized for showing on computer screens. I try to keep most images to have a maximum height of 600 pixels for computer-display. I use Paint Shop Pro (from JASC) as my primary application for modifying/resizing/coming photographic images into one image (photo).
Scanned photographs are scanned at 300 PPI (Pixels Per Inch), 150 or 100 PPI, and the chosen PPI will be identified in the comments for that particular image.
The following is aimed at showing examples of using a computer system, digital cameras, and perhaps scanners, as part of home computing environment. Hopefully, the shown pictures will give you some ideas for use of your home computer system.
Contact SCScompA if you have any comments/questions regarding anything that is shown in this Web page.
As the end-of-2002 holiday season gets under way, I encourage you to save your holiday experiences for showing/sharing using your home computing system and, perhaps, (to family and friends) using the Internet.
Hopefully the following examples give you some ideas and incentives in doing so.
Snowman Stamp Images - 2002
In last month's newsletter I showed an example of scanning/saving/showing postal stamps.
I captured the image of this year's USA's Snowman stamps to start off this month's newsletter example. (I removed the postal value from the stamp).

If you need a snowman image for your decorations -- I think the above snowmen are nice starting points!

Good luck as your end-of-2002 and its holiday season moves along. Take advantage of your PC/system, your camera (digital or non-digital!), and your scanner.
From our Raleigh, NC USA golf course, the 10th hole is a 400-yard par 4, slightly right to left, that is a joy to play.
Tee Shot
If possible, hit it straight -- with a slight right-to-left finish.
A challenging drive that, if executed well, sets up a nice second shot.
Second Shot
The green is quite large and laid out lengthwise for the golfer. It is protected well by traps left-front and all along the right side.
This view is after a nice drive and is about 190 yards to the middle of the green.
Green
Many players end up short of the green and have a chip shot slightly uphill. The front half of the green slopes quite a bit to the front.
The size of the green allows for a number of different pin placements.
.........
Let me know if you have played -- or expect to play in the future -- the above golf hole.
I wish you well in your picture taking and travels or other activities -- and hope you share that with a journal and Web-type of presentation you share with family/friends.
