    I looked at the sky last night and it was just amazing, there was a full moon, and the clouds were all alligned in a beautiful pattern, it left me with my jaw open. I decided to take a photo just to see how it would look, and ended up with a black picture with the moon being just a bright white dot.

    What kind of digital camera could work for these ocasions?

    That's interesting!

    I am getting a semipro after or for Xmas and see what I can do.

    I have been searching stock photos lately and I was impressed by some pics that were really beautiful.

    I think that with a good cam and some practice and inspiration I can get a few good ones!

    I am thinking of a dig cam with at least 5m pixel res, interchangeable good lenses, at least 10x optical zoom, and something else, I am currently looking into it with no hurry.

    I love taking photos... so I guess it is time to change my crappy 2 megapixels camera for a better one. Problem is that I don't know how to use lenses or things like that, I just want a point-and-shoot camera.

    Well I'm in that position too. But I am sure that we can improve as long as we get some motivation by a brand new piece of technology!

    I hope I can spend less than 500$ and that someone pops in for some advice!

    My Sony 5MP CyberShot really sucks. I think I'm going to get the Canon Rebel XT 8.0 MP


    As good as it gets w/ my Sony-

    theorectically with an image editor you might be able to make something out of those black pictures fry man, in order to take pics at night you need to slow down the shutter speed, at least on old school camera, the bassman runs a photo forum, he could probably tell you what you need in a digital

    Yeah to get some pretty good pictures you're going to have to spend a little money on the camera. The Canon Rebel is suppossed to be a pretty good camera.

    You should have grabbed some crayons and a bit of a4 paper instead while it was still there.
