The beauty of photo taking, and all you got to do is get the camera out and start taking pictures.  I particularly like to play with my camera settings to get the most out of what it will do.  Though, sometimes the environment to which you may want to take photo's may not be optimal, you still can make the most of them especially when using a post process editor.  I use photoshop to enhance the dull photo's taken outside my window with a screen on it.  The screen and the haze in the air make the photo's a little off, but after I have edited them they seem to take on a shap of their own.
