My 17 year old son, Dakota (he's autistic) had never taken a photo before. We stopped and bought him a camera. This is the first photo he shot.

Am i the only one not seeing any photos ? :confused:

Nick, that happened to me when I posted a pic of that six mil the other day and the week before, I thought it was my confuser. Must be this site. Then all the sudden they appeared a day later.
 
I just leave my photos "as is".

I can't leave mine as is. But IrfanView is as easy as it gets for basic stuff like resizing an image, or cropping it.
Mine are all slides converted to a CD. Kodachrome film goes 'bluish' when scanned to a CD and my slides are not scanned at a high resolution. (cheap) Because of that, all of mine need to me cleaned up, tinted and sharpened. If I had the slides scans done from a high quality scanning service, I wouldn't need to fix em.
Here's a before and after image. The first is the way I got this one back after being transferred onto a CD.............. It's not even close to how well the slide looks.
The second image is after cleaning it up with Photoshop and Neat Image.

Behind the plant are some weathered, silver colored dead branches, but see how blue they look in the first image? The blue tint makes all the colors blend into each other and makes the image very bland. Yuck.
Having to clean up and re-tint all of my slides has actually been a great learning experience for me, so for that, I guess this was a good thing.
You're lucky because digital cameras do a really nice job getting the colors and exposure right on, with not much need for fixing.
Like I said tho, IrfanView is a great free tool to resize or crop an image............. altho it has way more bells and whistles than I will ever need.

You guys know how to take neat photos I can never get photos like that. I need teaching
Drive to the end of the road, hike a mile into the snow, get down on your knees, and low to the ground................... then take a photo of whatever is sticking out of the snow in front to you.
.............for you, lesson one at no charge.
