Goldilocks Photography: Too Dark, Too Light

We don't have a super-duper camera. That one is on my wish list, for family history purposes! Ours is a Fujifilm E550 digital 5+ years old? Yes, it has night settings, and we tried that. It has been mostly reliable. It took us through the daily couple-shot year plus!

Last Friday, we went as a ward to the DC temple. Nice to be there with friends.Too dark.
Too flash bright.
Playing with the colors & lighting here in my computer studio. Picasa is my friend.

A nice patron walking to her car saw us and offered to help. Some distance between us and the camera seemed to help the most.

I have been amazed at the photos you have been able to do of yourselves up close. Friendly photographers are a help though.

So nice to have help to get it "just right!"
