Lemon- great shot- what kind of camera do you have?
I've got one of those very small and slim digital cameras which is class for snapshots, but I'm starting to notice that other people's pics look waaaay better and wondering about getting a second model.
Edit: scrub that, all the answers are here

Today is pretty bad,
Its the first time where I am(Changwon) where it is noticeable. I went for a walk for about 90 minutes and I can feel it in the back of my throat. |

Forgive the off-topic answer-
It's an HP850. HP has replaced it with a new model, so you can buy HP850s on Korean online sites for less than they sell in the US (about 450,000w). It's 4mp, and has a REALLY BIG zoom lens (8x Fuji). But this means it's *not* very portable. But it's a great camera, for cheap.
The difference you see in the pictures from your camera and that of others is the lens. The more glass there is - larger diameter lens, and longer - the better the images will be, generally speaking. And the better the camera will be in low-light. Small digital cameras, by necessity, have small lenses (I used to have one, but we lost it on the train a few months ago  ).
Here's another picture - no tripod and relatively low light. Here the big lens helps.

I've thought about hosting a "Dave's ESL Photo Contest" on my server. Not sure there'd be any demand, but I'd like to see the pictures others are taking with their cameras. |

Yeah I see what you mean lemon- mine's fine for snapping photos of drunken mates, but anything more than that and it comes up short. |
