Was the flash on? Counter-intuitively, the flash usually does more harm than good in low light. Increase either your light, or your camera's sensitivity to the light that's there (by increasing your ISO setting) instead of using the flash.
those are interesting flowers though . .
this is Boris -- say, "meow, Boris!"
Boris was abandoned by busy metropolitan relative-in-laws who decided they didn't have time to have a pet anymore. too bad they de-clawed him before deciding that =\
so we took him in. i guess you could say he's my cat-in-law who needed a place to live.
Boris gets more attention and is much happier out here with us in the county now though. plus, there's grass in the yard. he didn't get much grass in the city either.
