All of them were crappy but this one has hope...

It was odd. The sky was a purplish blue, and the digital camera ended up translating that to grey tones making it look like there's a dense fog. The moon in the background is what really makes this picture, I think.

Cool Shot, sounds like an AWB error. What kind of camera did you use? I know the AWB on Canon's seem to have probs with color tones and light conditions like this.

Ah but alas the equipment does not make the man! Trust me, I know a few "Professionals" who only have alot of gadgets and not much craft. Besides nobody is going to simply buy a photo based on your gear, work on getting great shots and you will get there!

Welcome to the forum!

OK I was just saying that I think the auto white balance could be to blame, but I think it looks cool anyway

No, not really. Pretty clear for low light hand held shot though. Good job!

Ah yes, you have long road ahead grasshopper! It's better than a simple P+S though! At least you still have some manual controls on it.

Cool perspective. If you can't get em' outta our shot, make em' your subject.

OK, I understand Mike or Michael, Nick or Nicholas, Tom or Thomas, but Jeff or Andrew? Little bit of mutiple personality identity crisis kinda thing?

Welcome aboard..........who ever you are
