I used both my nephew and my pooch as guinea pigs. The top image of each is how they looked straight off the memory card. It was getting later in the evening when I shot them, so clearly not optimum lighting. My brother was also holding my nephew, so the lighting and the angle were both terrible. I tried using the setting "Sleeping faces" and this was the best one of the bunch. Caysee is not so much a fan of my camera and looked traumatized in the majority of my shots. I randomly used the "portrait" setting. Again, even my amateur eye can see that I didn't have enough light for this picture.
I have a peach of a friend who has installed Photoshop for me, so I'm learning how to play around with that. Below the original image(s), is an edited version. I don't think it's too shabby for a first time attempt, though I'm not sure I like the edited version of my nephew.
