I DO think it's that good Kelda! You should spend some extra money and have it printed professionally and then frame it. It's a very beautiful picture. :)

I had no idea there was an ISO control on my camera. Cool tip, David. :D

I just checked the specs of your camera Dev, and it has an ISO range of 80-1250. WOW!! That's a VERY wide ISO range, which is good because it gives you lots of options, but also bad if the camera is automatically setting high ISOs, and it probably is. It does this to try and make things easier for you. My suggestion would be to turn off the auto ISO, and setting the ISO manually to 100. You may have to switch the camera mode over to "program" or "manual" before the menu system will allow you to access the ISO menu screen. I'm not too familiar with Kodak cameras (other than the fact they are very good) but this is typically how the menus work on other cameras. ISO 100 should be able to handle most shooting conditions, especially if you have a tripod, and you can always switch it back to auto ISO later on if you want. :)

Another source of image noise on digital cameras is a very slow shutter speed. Shutter speeds of 4 seconds or more seem to generate lots of noise, so you may want to take this into consideration as well. If you need to use a very slow shutter speed for some reason (time lapse photography for example) you should lower the ISO as much as possible - 80-100 with your Kodak C813 camera. If you need a little more light, you can always open up the aperture a bit more (f/2.8 - f/4). The lower the f number, the wider the aperture. (f/2.8 is wider than f/8)

The camera is a Kodak EasyShare C813. I love it!

I really like your camera!
