August 13 Tweaking with Windows Photo GalleryEasy stuff that can be executed by anyone, but if you look in the right direction, perhaps you might be able to get the results you are seeking.

August 12 Fujifilm’s F70 – 1st Take For a Camera that has a long lineage of excellence in photography… this is one snapper that we have had our eye on for the longest time. Here’s some initial snaps we managed to snap with this camera. For your eyes only. =p
Took these 2 shots of a pencil box from GV when we watched Up. Hm, note the difference in picture quality when there is flash and without. Apparently, I actually prefer it without flash as you manage to capture the shadows, which can be altered via photoshop when needed. When zoomed in, although, it seems evident that the one with flash appears much cleaner and with minimal noise. Clean is good!
More photos from my table. Random. But check out the depth that this camera manifests from the depths of its belly.
