Not trying to knock you or your camera, some pretty nifty shots, but maybe it's just me but that photo inside the mosque seems very grainy/noisy...maybe it's my moniter or maybe it's me, otherwise :thumbsup:

Anyone with any point and shoot digital camera could have taken those on his vacation.

How did you resize them? You need to use a program that resamples them, not just resizes like the Microsoft photo programs.

No it is, I had to fiddle with the manual settings alot to get it like that, I really didn't have anything to put it on with me, and taking it looking up meant I had to use a high shutter speed otherwise it'd be blurry, forgot what I ended up doing, I'll check the EXIF tags, god I want a DSLR so bad.

Photoshop, resampled to Bicubic (not sharp or smooth, plain bicubic)

So what are some good programs to use to resample photos?

You said you used a high shutter speed when looking up? Honestly you probably could have managed a sharper image with a lower shutter speed since the mosque itself isnt going anywhere anyplace soon you could have really set up a nice shot although you are right it's not an SLR or DSLR, therefore it would be harder. But I'll wait for the EXIF tags

I think the #1 thing in photography is having a subject. Many times your eyes will be in awe with what you see, but in all honesty, what you see is not what you get.

I remember my friend used to put her fingers in a framing style and see through those fingers to determine what photos to take. I end up taking a bunch of pictures upon seeing the environment, but many times its not good. Take time. Think about what you're shooting, and then take it. Without a subject, your image is simply a mess.

Out of these pictures I wuold pick the 5th one from the top. It has a centered subject (actually its slightly shifted to the right huh), and for the most part is good.

Ahhh thats why it looked fuzzy, 1/8th shutter, so it was a slow shutter speed and you just need something to steady yourself on. In that case when you are in an open area(I'm assuming no benches or anything around) I find with my film SLR when i shoot low shutter speeds like that without a tripod that you have to steady yourself somehow. In your case without anything else around to steady yourself on, try this kneel down(how appropiate in a mosque) and lean back on your heels then inhale a deep breath then hold it while putting both your elbows onto your chest while holding and pointing the camera upwards, now exhale about halfway and then slowly depress the shutter button after your half exhalation....should take a little practice but works like a charm for me

EDIT: Here's a picture I took in tennessee using a 1 second exposure time without a tripod....http://pics.bbzzdd.com/users/DeathBUA/014_114.JPG

one thing I would suggest as a general tip is to get close to your subjects. If you want to take pictures of a mosque, find one element of the structure that intrigues you instead of trying to capture the entire building with all the people and trees around it. YOu can take landscape shots like the first picture, but taking good landscapes is somewhat of an advanced skill. Get in close and as you get better at framing, composition, and choosing subject matter, you can distance yourself from what you're shooting.

Nice pics in terms of the digicam colors etc, but in regards to photography they lack framing and balance and don't show the viewer anything that someone on a vacation wouldn't expect to see or feel without any effort.
