JPEG
Paulina maybe this will help, at least to get them into jpeg format.
Use whatever photo program you use to open the desired photo.
Then once it is on screen go to the top tool bar, upper left corner and click on "file" - look down a ways and you will see (hopefully) "save as" -
left click on that and another box opens on screen (see image attached) - left click on the "save as type" and another box drops down, now, fish
around in that drop down box for something with the letters "jpg" in it. Bring the cursor up, highlighting that line and left mouse click - the photo
will now be saved in a jpg format.

I know I might catch some flak for this but here's a trick I've heard about to handle those pesky lobos. Fill a bait fish with habanero sauce and
toss it out to the fish thief before you start fishing. He should steer clear of your boat after that.
We had one that followed us one day from Horseshead to Piojo, then on to Smith. We couldn't shake him. I didn't know of this peppery solution back
then...It pretty much ruined our day of fishing. Nothing worse than bringing a fish to the boat only to reel up the head at the last minute. Another
time Dern was cleaning out catch and rinsing the filet overboard, when all of a sudden the big brown flash came darting straight for the fish. He
pulled it out just in time before it became a lobo meal.

Si, senorita. One particular day on Guadalupe Reef (east end) stands out. We're out on our boat with Abraham, and it's winter time (late november).
Perfect day, but the fish are DEEP. We're seeing marks on the finder and going over and over the same spot, about 200' feet down, fishing with live
bait, hooking YT and "incidentals", like seabass and (be still my heart) huachinango - just about the best eating you can get. We hook and bring RIGHT
to the boat two-three of them, and a knothead lobo is kind enough to leave us the head. These are all caught by my kids. I then get a real solid
hook-up. I bring it to color, and it must have been 10-15 pounds a beaut. All of a sudden, the reel starts to scream, and the line is just smokin'.
Then, about 200 yards out the knothead surfaces, with the red fish clearly visible in his mouth. Makes a couple runs on the surface, shaking his head
with MY fish in his mouth. Abraham and I are just screaming. We went home after that. The spicy bait may work - the local boats use (they'll deny
that) "seal bombs". We had a great time, though we brought little home.

I am going to have to take my Nikon to the beach every now and then. The noise in my poor little Sony shots is so evident in these photos. I guess
the good news is I have over 1000 bird shots now....surely there are some with higher definition among them.
The lens cover on my Sony is already starting to drag after only 4 months of daily beach walks. I have to use my fingernail to open it about half the
time. I think now I remember why the Nikon stays in its Pelican case safe from sand and salt.
Thanks for joining in Nomads!
Mas por favor

I've posted this one before, but because I still can't get my scanner problems solved, this will have to be my contribution for now.

Can't remember what thread I asked what the name of the gull was that pestered the pelicans but here is a shot I got today that shows them better.
