I don't know, is it me, my camera, or my monitor? This is right out of the camera... It looks like crap to me

What don't you like about it? The colors, the detail, can you be more spepific?
Honestly, it doesnt look out of ordinary from most images that come straight outta camera..
It is a little blurry, what was your shutter speed?

| It looks like the focus is off a bit. The center of focus seems to be just a small area on the front of the teepee just below the top opening. A little bright but if shot in Raw can be adjusted. How was it shot? Lens? Focus point? Aperture? Shutter speed? ISO? |

The colors aren't dark at all on my screen..
What does the grayscale color bar look like on your monitor (the one thats one the bottom of the screen when you vote on pics).. Can you Differentiate all the differnt shades or do the black boxes near the end seem one color? |

the colors don't look off at all to me. Just a bit bright and in need of some adjustment.
A cheap way to check your monitor before you spend money on a good calibrator is if you have a DVD drive in your computer, go to Radio Shack and buy their DVD Laser cleaning disk. On this disk is a calibrated color chart for checking your monitor. Whennever I think one of my monitors calibration has slipped I pop this in and see what the problem is - color, tint, contrast, brightness, etc. For the 12 bucks it was worth it.
The actual name on the disk I use is DVD Laser Lens Cleaner with 6 fine microfiber brushes, animated video images, 5.1 channel stereo. It checks your system for DVD playback. But the color/contrast/brightness adjustment parts are a great and cheap check for monitor calibration. It does not take the place of a Spyder or similar unit, but for quick checks and panel adjustments it is a good tool.
and as buzzrock pointed out, a proper gamma adjustment always helps.
