I was wondering why my picture came out this way.
I took it with an auto mode [which I'm assuming was the reason somehow]
I took it the night I got my camera so that's why I was using all auto-modes.

1. Why is the moon kind of "cloudy" like that? There were a few clouds out, but not that bad.
2. Why is the sand orange/red? There were orangish colored lamps on the boardwalk, but that was a good 30-35+ feet away.

Heres the picture I'm talking about:

F = 5, and shutter speed 2 sec, that is why I think the moon is like that and why the color is like that.
I think you should edit the white balance.

Yeah I'm still getting used to the camera, I'm going to try using all of the manual modes and none of the auto modes from now on.

I don't like editting photos :\
For one I just think it's kinda cheating and two I suck at using photoshop
So I probably couldn't even change the white balance if I wanted to lol

White balance is not cheating.
Try get Lightroom 2, it is really good at "neutral" editing.

Aren't those programs like hundreds of dollars?
And I have Photoshop from my mom's friend and the Canon picture editer thing and that's it :\

I am still using the free 30 days trial. xD
But I do not know what to do after it. It cost like 348 USD where I am from. I do not know what it will cost for you.

Do you know if you can do white balance in regular Photoshop?
And gieb me site to download the trial

I think you can. I do not use photoshop.

Just sign up and download the trial.

learn this and use faster shutterspeed, if its that dark u need more than 400 iso, allso u need to use lower f-number. With 400 iso that 2second is same than half second with 1600 iso, with f-1.8 instead of f-5 you could use 0.0625sec and you wouldnt get blurred pic caused by handshake.
