I'm shure that it's possible to take a photo when you are flieing on fsx, but I don't know how. Can you and how can you take some photos? (I don't like to do it with print screen)

In FSX you can take screenshots with the 'V'-key.

Just press "v". But make sure the pause bar and anything else isn't visible. Also the red text on the top right will go away if you just sit there for around 10 seconds. You can also take the shot without the sim being paused. If it took the shot you'll notice it froze for a second.
Once you take your pictures they'll show up in your pictures folder under MSFSX Files.

Just adding to what Thud said, if you want to upload them to SimV you have to convert them to JPG, you can use Paint to convert them or if you want to resize them and convert them I like to use go2convert.com - they can only be 1024 wide max here. 

and I been doing the old CTRL+Prt Scr you mean there was a shortcut all along??

I like the Howie's Funware Screen Capture Tool. Free download. I think you can set it to capture in .jpeg, but don't quote me. I use the Snipping Tool under Win 7, now. Works great...
