My one suggestion is take off your UV filter.

I made adjustments to the Black Point setting and the mid-tone setting in "Levels".
Do you like that better?

Sign up with a free account with PhotoBucket and upload images there and link them into your post here. ;) What are using to edit images? You need to remember to make the final color profile sRGB and images no larger than 800 pixels on the longest side.

Hey Bob I like.
What am I using to edit pictures, umm I have photo shop here but not loaded. I was using picture it, I know lame right

[johnstownwildfire]

Bob what program are you using to fix the pictures. Is their a simple program out there I can use. In todays world one can take a really bad picture, and with the tools we have on line etc. one can make it look like a million bucks. It's hard to teach an old dog new tricks. remember the old days buy film shoot picture dark room and only their could one work their magic.

I use Photoshop CS3 (version 10.0) - However, for most ordinary image editing Micrografx Picture Publisher or Adobe's Elements have the tools needed.

The mods that I made to your picture used only the "Levels" tool.

Bob I see you have the G5, as do I. I made a mistake and bought the lens adapter kit. You know oyu put the tube thingy over the lens and attach lens to it. It's a nightmare to get a good clean image. The G5 great camera, but I think people should save their money and buy a good SLR, Thanks so much for your help.

I'm still getting used to the XTi - I shoot more pics with the G5, because it's simpler to carry around. The G5 is perfectly adequate for anything up to 16 x 20".
