PLUS the chance to WIN a fabulous Dell Outlet Inspiron Notebook worth around £1000! 1 Before you open any digital photos, click on the Start button at the bottom left of the Windows screen and you will notice a folder called My Pictures. This serves as a useful storage space for your photos as you can keep everything together, but your photos can be put anywhere. 2 Look down the side of this folder and you'll notice some handy tools listed under 'Picture Tasks'. Particularly helpful is the 'View as slide show' function, which enables you to view a sequence of pictures full screen, or the CD copying tool for storing photos on a disc - a great way to use the CD-RW drive on your Dell Outlet computer!

What's a beach? To us, it's any sandy stretch on the edge of a lake, a river bank, or the ocean. It's a great place for fun and relaxation, and we hasten to add, a great place to take pictures - anytime! While we have summer's warm and sunny weather and long lazy days in mind as we write this, photography on the beach can give great results any time of the year, in any weather, from sunrise to sunset. Typically, you won't need lots of fancy gear when you go to the beach. A point-and-shoot or SLR with a normal range zoom lens is all you'll need, along with some film, a small strobe and a tripod for long exposures.
