Lion Dance and My Soft Effect

Accompanied my dad to take some pictures of a Lion Dance event. After taking the pictures, I realised that either my lens is dirty or I have accidently set the camera to take soft pictures. Anyhow, here it goes ...

The table laid out with the mandarins (kam, or literally translated as gold).

Here are the lions, a red and a yellow, rushing towards the "kam".


It seems pretty fierce, doesn't it?


I think there is something wrong with this old camera that my dad gave me ... hmphhhhhh ... time to complain to him and pester him to get me a newer, lighter, smaller, more megapixels and a proper working unit.
