WOW that looks great! i usually only edit photos when i am using them for something (web page or printing out for individuals usually) - i like to post originals because when you start posting doctored up ones, (although i guess just brightening it up a little isn't doctoring too much
) no one knows which is which...but i'm really impressed with how good that photo looks after the fix!
i'm downloading that program now and will try it on some of my darker pictures..thanks for the tip blueice...
for everyones information most of the pictures were taken with a Panasonic DMC-FZ1 (only 2mp but 12x optical zoom - don't be fooled by the megapixel war people! see review at:
Steve's Digicam if you're interested)....the rest were taken with my little handy-dandy Canon SD-100
the canon was my first digicam and i still use it mostly for family photos and the likes because i can print fairly large pictures....everything else i use my panasonic for - you really can't beat 12x zoom with a Lumix Leica lens - it just adds so much fun to picture taking when you don't have to be a few feet away from the subject...i happened to stumble across the FZ1 being sold by Staples for $180 and it is by far the best purchase I have made in my digicam life and would recommend it to ANYONE...they sell a 4mp version (FZ10 i believe) for quite a bit more...however, IMO it is a good stepping stone before stepping up to a digital SLR of some sort - the great pictures i get now is the only thing that has kept me from buying a Canon digital rebel or Nikon SLR...
hope this helps someone when trying to purchase a camera - there are a lot more things to think about than megapixels...with the right lens and a good optical zoom, you can take absolutely amazing pictures..
thanks again everyone for the compliments
