What I have learned about getting good photos with my digital camera:

Because I do so much photography for the web, I have almost switched entirely to digital. The cost savings is another big factor plus the fact that I can shoot a whole bunch of shots and then 'surely to goodness' I'll get some good ones and can just delete the rest. I take many photos of beach condo interiors for a website I manage in Gulf Shores. I always use my digital. It is definitely best for low light photos. The thing to do is avoid getting a direct light source in the shot, do one with and one without the flash, then later you can use your favorite photo-editing software to do an 'auto-enhance' to one-click brighten the whole thing up. If there is no way to avoid some rays of direct light, like thru a window with no covering, I use my photo editing program to darken in the spot of direct light to about 1/2 it's strength and then do the one click 'auto-enhance' function. If the photo still does not have bright enuf colors, darken the bright spots once more and do the 'auto-enhance' thing again. To be continued....as time permits.
