Weird, it doesnt look as good when it was shrunken down. :s
I also like this one, taken at the Edinburgh tattoo last weekend. It was taken at the show finale at about 11pm.
I like taking nature shots, although I am not a photography geek and never spent any money on equipment.. I had a small Kodak compact which my sister has now stolen from me :s , but I got myself a Panasonic Lumix which arrived yesterday...maybe I will post something from that...
this is an old photo of Mulshi dam/lake about 30kms from my home.

On Wednesday evening I took my 10,000th photo on my 5D. :D
Basically the only thing which would solve your problem is flash. Altering the exposure is simply going to wash out the background and it'll look stupid. I assume the point of the photo was to show you being somewhere? If that's the case then you want to get the background right and only a flash would have done it for you.Quote:

I should really get out my photography book again, as reading this thread I realise how much I've forgotten...
My sunset pic was taken with flash. I had taken one before without flash and it wasn't good. Conclusion: take that pic with flash. Aaah the good ol' trial and error... :p
In that case I think I was too far away and my flash too weak for it to have made much difference!
