I was playing around with my old Leica Hektor 135mm attached to my Lumix GF1 when I snapped some birds in my back garden. At my age hand holding an equivalent of 270mm is not a good idea. Post processing with Lightroom 3 of a small crop (5% of original) gave me this below, for me it 'saved the day'. Let's see some of yours.

Yes, I sometimes have that. This one was a few days ago:
I often shoot while riding my bicycle (I call that "Drive by Shootings", you know...
although I'm not nearly in the same class as David Bradford). This car just passed by when I came back from work and I was fast enough to get the shoot, but not good enough to catch it in whole and as perfect as I wish I had. But at home I put the image on my iPad and played a little bit around with a new image processing app, I just installed, and this is, what I got. Now I'm quite pleased with it. Just a little bit of cropping, some colour-filters, done. The cropping did most of it. The original is just boring.

I took my R-D1 to the local rodeo and took this shot. It came out much too dark to be useable:
Enter Capture NX software. Normally I use this software to process raw NEF images taken with my D300. However, this time I used Capture NX to improve the image, which was shot in jpg only. I was able to lighten it considerably so that, while it wasn't a top quality image, at least it was useable:
I conclude, therefore, in keeping with the topic of this thread, that "post processing saves the day".
