Printing Those Great Pictures

Alright, so you are trying out your new camera you got for Christmas. You took about 20 pictures and found about 6 that you really like. So, now what. The beauty of digital photography is that you can put all 20 of those pictures onto a CD if you like and that will only cost you a quarter. Or, you could delete 14 and just put 6 onto a CD. Another great thing about digital is that you can put close to 400 pictures onto one cd. So, if you have a new puppy and a new camera you can really go crazy and put 400 pictures on that one cd. Wow!
Let's say you want to print some of those pictures and one is so great that you want to enlarge it to an 8 x10. Some people would just run over to their Walmart, Cosco or whatever and do the one hour photo. That would be the quickest way, but if you really want "Nice" looking pictures with great color saturation, that's not the place to go. Either a photo store where they print professionally or one of the great online sites, Shutterfly, Winkflash and Snapfish are some of the ones I use alot. They print great quality photographs and each will give you the first 20 prints free. They also have great prices for enlargements. The choice is yours and it's a personal thing. If you order online it takes approximatley 3 days to get your pictures back. That works for me. They also have many options to choose from such as making your own cards for birthdays, Valentines, etc. You can make photo mugs, mousepads, and shirts. YOu can get creative and make all kinds of collages with your photos. So, now you see there are alot of options to you for processing of those great pet photographs.
