The Fun You Can Have With A Digital Camera

By Deborah Sorenson


A digital camera can help you keep track of just about anything that goes on in your day, or happens to be of interest to you. Pictures of people are nice to have, but sometimes a photo can be a much faster way of keeping an inventory of certain items and events. Here are a few ideas to consider in keeping your electronic image maker with you.

People who are fixer-uppers could make use of a picture to help in many aspects of repairing rather complex items. Having a picture to look at when it comes time to put everything back together will make it faster to put everything back together. You can also use a photo to help you remember decorating ideas you may have seen and then use parts of them for your own needs.

Many jokes are made about airlines losing people's luggage, but you can greatly increase your chances of having yours returned to you, if you take pictures of each piece. Include a closeup of the tag where you wrote your name and address, but stand back enough to have a full picture of the item of luggage. It's one thing to try and describe what your suitcase looks like, but if you are in a country where they don't speak your language, only a picture has a chance at helping them find it.

Most people who own a computer keep it on their To-Do list to scan all those old documents into the computer. This could save a lot of space in filing cabinets. But, using a scanner can mean having to fool with the computer, too, and is a part of the reason they never get around to reducing paper into digital files. However, using your handy digital photo-taker, you can get copies onto SD cards without ever having to boot up your computer.

Emergency situations can cause a lot of commotion and confusion, and many people are too busy trying to absorb what just happened to remember that they have a way to capture it on film. If you can think to take a picture immediately after a car wreck, whether you were involved or not, the photo could put to rest what caused the wreck.

Making money is a good idea to most people, and using your digital camera you can take photos of people, places and things that other people are willing to buy for a photo on their website. Old barns, beautiful birds, even different types of livestock and be items people will pay money for, if that is what they want for a background image on their site. Anything that can be filmed and be a possible source of income.
