Answer
Joe,

Sorry I didn't get back to you right away.  I'm not supposed to be getting questions this week as I was out of town.  I notified AllExperts but something must have gone wrong.

It sounds like you might need to brush up on basic photography.  But it is kind of hard to say what may be the problem because you didn't tell me anything about how these images were taken and what you expect.  Write back and let me know what shutter and apeture you use, or what auto setting you are on.
