They seem real grainy or out of focus as compared to like the dolphin photo posted earlier this seems to happen alot, does anybody know what is going on? I'm not using a tripod, could this be it?

All pics were taken with a kodak dx6490

No problem:)

I'm guessing the grainy issue has to do with lighting, since the other pictures you posted were daytime pictures. Are all your night pictures grainy?

I got bored, so I fiddled with a couple of your pictures. What do you think?

I like it. It makes the colors more real. The bird pic was taken w/o a zoom as the resort itself was a sanctuary. I actually hand fed the nut its eating. They had a ton of different types of animals there but I seemed to be attracted to the macaws the most :)

Hey, Thanks.

Yeah, Photoshop would work, I used Fireworks, but either would work.

I copied the first (and only) layer of the cat, pasted it over the top of the other one, so I had two layers the same. I then made the top one greyscale. I then simple cut out the bits I wanted in colour so the picture below it showed up.
 
here are some I took last night while at work

From the roof of the building 12 stories up looking down K st.

Same spot on the roof facing south towards the monument

Monument again, same spot zoomed a little further out

My first macro...ever :D

Please excuse the "leaning" monument. I had to up the iso to around 400 and slow the shutter speed to 6 seconds to avoid using the flash. In doing that I couldn't hold it and placed it on the edge of the building for stability. Believe me a flash pointed towards the east wing of the white house at 3 am would draw up a little suspicion:D :D I tried to straighten out the camera but there was nothing around to hold it still long enough :(

You could of put the ISO up to 800, or even higher but then you'd have the grainy-ness, which isn't really much good :P

Did you not have a tripod?

Yeah, I guess that would be a little suspicios! :)
