Just fiddling with this new camera while waiting for someone one day. It has such a grainy quality about it I find annoying but for practicing taking pictures I figures a small investment was best. I liked the clouds.

Is that through your windshield tint at the top? looks deep.

what kind of a camera is it? if you have upwards of 3mpx, you can usually take a high enough quality shot to enable you to do good things in post production programs like photoshop to make good pics.

To the both of you.
Yes it is the windshield tint.

I have a Finepix 10mp with 3x zoom. I got it cheap for 68 dollars. I thought it was the funky design being discontinued but I now see it is selling for 149.

I would have thought it would do a better job than my cell phone. I probably don't have the functions down yet. I am not exactly disappointed with it yet on that account.

I know you are right. Tinkering with a photo program will help. I have ordered the serif. I hope it does sharpen the images up a little. That and with my acquainting myself with the camera's features. As a wannabe newbie I didn't want to spend very much to begin with.

There are so many great cameras around 200 -350. Too many for a novice to decide so I just bought a cheap-o hoping it would be better than just OK.

edit- I had at one time messed with the ISO setting. I'll read up on that and see if I can correct the grainy factor.

J's brother has two hobbies... auto racing, and fostering guide dogs for the blind.

I love this picture.

But at least they're color-coordinated.

I kept it just for the memory of it and to remind myself to try again sometime.
Sky, I like that shot a lot, the graininess actually looks intentional.
