I struggled today...not with the two in the photo but with the camera.
the shot looks much better on the camera's LCD but when I open it in photoshop - omg - it was grainy and dark.
I am uploading the photo exactly how it came off the camera.


Camera: Kodak Easyshare P850 (5.1megapixels)
f2.8, 1/20, -2.0,-0.7, iso400

The subjects - fortunately - my pets.

I kept playing around with the shutter speeds & aperture because I either kept getting blurs, or overexposure.

okay what do i need to do for better shots.
I hope to set this one up again with better results after the critiquing.

Thanks in advance
