    Hey

    I just got a Logitech notebook deluxe web cam for use with my laptop and i have been wanting to use it outside but when ever i step out the house the brightness just makes the picture white.

    I have tried changing the brightness and contrast and it does not have the same effect, the only thing i can think of is to tape some old sunglasses to the front of the web cam!!!

    Please help me from looking like a fool

    Thanks

    Maybe if you try cutting like a square of cardboard or dark, thick paper and then taping it to form like a brim (like on a hat) over the lens, that might cut down on the amount of sun light geting to it,
