PhotoLink with Camera-Phones

1678334_BG1.jpg If you photograph breaking news with your camera-phone, 16WNEP would like to see them may use them on the air or on the web.

Just send them straight to PHOTOLINK@WNEP.COM (or you can use PL@WNEP.COM, it's easier to key in).

Here are some tips for capturing the best photos:

-- DON'T TAKE PICTURES WHILE DRIVING!

-- Use the highest resolution your phone offers.

-- Don't use your digital zoom. Digital zoom lowers the overall resolution of your photos. If we need it, we can digitally zoom in using our computers.

-- Hold your phone steady. Any movement can blur the picture.

-- Bright light is best.

-- Give us information. When you send in a photo, please include some details on when and where the photo was taken. And please include your name so we can give you proper credit.

-- Call us. If your photograph is of a really major event, please also call us at 1-800-533-NEWS or *1616 on your Verizon Wireless phone.
