    Default Taking high quality photos with webcam?

    I'm wanting to start properly marketing myself online through twitter and tumblr, however I can't currently afford a quality camera that has a remote shutter release or a time-delay feature.

    I've started using my webcam to take photos, and it is capable of taking HD images, however when I use the software that was provided with the webcam (arcsoft webcam companion) the images come out grainy. You can see the image quality in the header of my twitter profile here: @miaafaye (I follow back camgirls!) It's okay, but not the quality that I was hoping for.

    Does anyone have any software recommendations or tips on how I can get better quality images from my webcam?

    Not sure which camera you are using? The c920 takes excellent photos and you can edit them in a free photo editing software like picasa. The c920 also has a few timer options (up to 20 sec I think) so you can use those as well.

    Maybe it is a lighting issue, that makes a huge difference with mine.

    Usually the C920 takes some amazing pictures (I mean, amazing considering it's a webcam, really). What webcam are you using? Also, consider that lighting can affect the way your pics will look.

    I agree with whats said above the c920 takes amazing photos but the lighting is extremely important!
    I know you say you cant afford a "quality camera" idk how expensive you are talking but you can find 10 mp camera that has a timer online for under $60 and probably locally on a site like craigslist for less or a trade.

    I'm using a HP cam at the moment, but I can't remember which. I think I'll have to just go ahead and buy a C920! My current lighting set up is a bit cobbled together- 1 desk lamp and a ceiling lamp, so will be saving up for something better there as well.
