>>2147262I don't have a tripod, unfortunately, and I'm not really willing (Or able) to shell out $100+ to buy a nice camera and a tripod for something I do three times a year. Maybe once I get more financially on my feet, but right now that's not happening.
I'm going to play with the camera settings well before I actually take the picture, just so I get familiar with it and know what it does and does not do, and how to optimally have it set up for the best possible picture quality.
It's just really annoying to see other people's pictures in Christmas and Valentine's thread with perfect, crystal clear quality, and then mine are always grainy and ugly and horrible.
