Colin, thanks for your hints.

Hm... I hoped to get into this area without photoshop. I will try to get there as far as I can without it. Neither do I have the budget nor the time to get into software picture editing right now. maybe later.

gonna go and enjoy the camera now. again thanks for your insight.

Hi,

Since its my first post here:

I'm really just starting to be a little more ambitious about takeing pictures. After shooting with my fathers ol'

olympus pen ft for a year I

recently (well,... yesterday) acquired a ricoh gx100, which ,as some might not know, has a 24mm wide angle lens!

so that's all i have for equipment, and i know its nothing fancy, but I think the ricoh is a camera I really have

space to grow into. Right now, I'm nowhere near pushing the cam to its limits...

my question: how do people get pictures with a sharpness and contrast and overall quality as this:

I know there's a lot to it, but if you could give me some (basic) hints into the right direction (maybe literatue

tips) - that would be really helpfull!

Thanks for your help, and greetings from germany!
