can this be salvaged?

I really love this for some reason but its grainy, dark, etc.. little troublemaker was getting into things under our desk and I snapped this real fast. It was set to whatever I used last since I had to pull him out of there. lol

this is SOOC..

Did you shoot in RAW? If so, you should be able to pull something out of it. My quick, feeble attempts at the JPEG are not looking so hot, but there are others here much more proficient than I.

I didn't ;\ I really should start that sooner than later though. lol

Whenever I have to save an underexposed, I know I have the fallback of TMAX3200. IE, grainy b&w.

I kinda liked it dark, so it lets off he was over being mischievous.

It is a small file but if you have the raw file it can be made usable.

whats there to be scared about? its only another picture that comes OOC. lol. only difference is you gotta put it in LR or Photoshop RAW first. You dont have to shoot RAW all the time(i do) but its good to. adjusting images are so much easier. And thank you for liking my edit

I was the same way in the beginning. Like it was some fragile egg from the Ming dynasty Really, though. Slap that puppy on RAW and fire away like you always do. You have LR3 so you're all set with a program to read your files. Go nuts!
