I took this picture over my house,I used an orange filter over the lense of my digital camera. Turned out better than I thought it would.

Keliloo, an additional note on the "noise": I used to have a Sony Mavica, and they produced a lot. This is due to JPEG compression - if I recall, your camera uses a floppy disk? The camera is likely set to maximize disk usage, and your photos suffer accordingly. You might want to check your settings and make sure the camera is set to the largest resolution with "fine" rather than "standard" quality. You'll get fewer photos per disk, but your photos will turn out nicer.

Kelli, the noise he is referring to are the little specks and artifacts the show up mainly in the sky and clouds. Thats just a byproduct of the low resolution of the camera I believe. One thing that might help is neatimage. Used in moderation it can get rid of the artifacts and produce a smoother image. You can do a google search on Neatimage and you should find it pretty easy. There is a free version you can download. But be careful, used to excess and you can come out with plastic looking people and unrealistic landscapes. Just takes some practice getting the right mixture. :-) Have fun, there's lots to learn here.

Tobias, thank you. I am not sure what you mean by noise,is there a link to something that will clarify this for me?

Jaimeson, Thank you, I am glad you like it. Is it one of my favs as well. I will keep posting my pics, I'm not going anywhere, was just a bit dissappointed is all. I'll get over it...=)

I like this shot alot. The orange glow just makes the sky zing! The composition of the shot is good too. I'm a newbie myself, but slowly learning "the way". :-) I hope you keep posting your photos.

The orange filter gives it a nice golden glow. There is some camera noise in the top left and in parts of the clouds. I like the way the clouds frame it. The short tree on the side with less clouds. More clouds on the right, more tree.
