Webcam + Camera = Cool

sllimabob · 03-24-2006

Finally got the 2 pictures I've been wanting during our trip to Playa last week.

First, the "live" shot on the beach in front of the webcam:

Next, the shot from the webcam a moment later:

Trip report to follow shortly!

Okay,
how did you do that??
We will be standing there in 3 days, and would like our kids at home to be able to capture our picture on the webcam too.
I have tried to right click and copy the webcam, but can't figure out how to do it.
HELP

By hitting the Printscreen button on your keyboard, you place your entire desktop into memory. Then go into powerpoint, or word, or Paint, and hit CTRL-V, or Paste, and the whole screen will be placed on the document.

The trick is training someone else how to do it, and getting the timing right!

That works and is a bit easier than another means I tried!
thanks,,
Hope I can have the same great pictures in a few days!

I actually captured that same shot of you that day. I was practicing because my daughter was there at 5:00 that afternoon. I didn't think I've ever know who I was watching on the camera

sllimabob · 03-25-2006

We were only in front of the camera for a couple of minutes, so that's pretty neat that you saw us!

MN Annie · 03-25-2006

I found the picture I have of you!

Thanks for sharing that, it's neat to know that someone was watching our little moment!

Hey, I saw that as well!

I guess you never know who is watching.

OK I did the above and it worked, it was so much fun, but now how do I get it into a reply or a thread?

Just sent you a PM with instructions on how-to post images on Playa.Info.

Slimabob - this gets two thumbs up on the cool factor!

I danced nekkid' in front of the webcam for 20 minutes last time I was in playa, hoping someone would see me at random. No luck. (Or at least no one admitted it!)

Maverick69 · 05-30-2006

Stewart, I don't see any poles around the webcam for you to dance around. Just want to make sure you are comfortable.
