    What other options do you set so that the picture is not very dark ?
    Most, if not all, digital cameras have a number of presets for night / day / snow / water / sports (motion) shots. You can also set the exposure bias manually to compensate for excessively bright or dark conditions. When I first became interested, I just used the full auto mode, but ended up doing too much editing. Now I make more use of the OSD and take several shots if possible.

    I only had 1 chance with this pic. Taken with my Fuji P&S through a dirty double-glazed kitchen window at a distance of 20 feet, with zoom. I had only seconds to set up the camera. Got the exposure right first time via the live view. As you can see from the colouring, the birds around here are soviet. They watch YOU.

    Exposure time 10/3500 seconds
    F number 510/100
    ISO 800
    Brightness 604/100
    Exposure bias 67/100
    Flash manually disabled
