How do I get better quality of picture?

[Bullykai]

ok so I have an "hp photosmart" digital camera 7.0 mp. My appartment has very dull lighting and even when I try to get bright lights, when I take a picture it is still very dark. Should my shutter (iso) speed be set at a higher number?

here is an example:

You would use a slower shutter speed to allow more light into the camera.

Or use a flash.

Or change the ISO to a more light sensitive reading.

what Rick said.


But i think that picture is fine. It focuses only on the dog. You don't want the background any lighter because it's photo clutter and it'll take away from the subject

also a higher apperture means that camera will stay open longer and that means you need a steady hand and pictures will come out blurry if they're shaky.

ya I got a shaky hand since I was little and decided to stick a paper clip in the plug outlet.... me = duh

that picture also freaked me out because I forgot that was the tv in the background...I actually thought someone was sitting there....spooky

sorry, it's sad though :sad: crazy kids
