I had only one shot before it started raining like crazy and i am surprised that it was sharp at all , because my tripod was sitting in the creek and I could feel it vibrating.

It was the kit lens . Some of photos with the kit lens have turned out OK .Originally Posted by bolden
I guess I need to find out what F stop works best at various 18 - 55mm.
I know some lenses have a sweet spot that they work the best at.
This flower with snow in the middle was taken with the kit lens.
Rob, what would you say that the sweet spot is on the 18-55mm kit lens?

In the new cameras the information is stored with each shot. You just need a program to read the exif data. I use Opanda's IExif. It's freeware and works real well. Here's the link:

Do you normally shoot in JPeg or RAW?

Rob,
I don't know what your scanner might be doing. It sounds kind of strange. Have you tried transferring the images driectly to your PC from the camera?
As for Photoshop, I don't think it would automatically convert your images to JPeg. I use a RAW conversion program called Capture One LE from Pbase. I got it free after buying a 2 GB CF card from Sandisk. They have a special promo where you buy the card and it comes with a software activation key for Capture One. So basically you get a $80 RAW converter for free.
Here's a link to a post on Dpreview.com about this promo:

I initially shot in JPeg but after trying RAW, I'm a convert to the RAW world. It allows me to shoot and not be too concerned with having the exact settings needed for the shot. I can easily fix things afterwards. I shoot my daughters and they don't offer me the ability to meter, compose or judge the WB in time. So I shoot quickly and adjust later. Plus the changes are non-destructive so I can go back to the original RAW image even after making many adjustments. JPeg degrades after a few adjustments.
