Question: Please help me with simple photography!?
Ok so I love to take pictures but I'm not very good at it!. I have a little Nikon coolpix digital camera and I really want to be able to use it to take beautiful pictures!. Anyway I also like to edit photos but I feel like I could be a lot better!. So here are my questions!. First, what can I do to take better pictures!. Second, what do you think of the editing I did on the following pics and last what's a good online editing program other than photobucket!?
Thanks:)

First, heres a video you can watch and listen to that will help you with your basic understanding of photography!.!.!. http://video!.google!.com/videoplay!?docid=!.!.!.

Looking at your images I think you understand some basic principles of how to manipulate (turning an image to grayscale then changing it back to RGB for editing, color correcting and toning as well as changing the general appearance of an image)!.

First,
the lighting of the pictures must right!.
Taking pictures on a sunny day- the pictures come out very beautifully !.
also , a good camera is very important too , A little NIkon coolpix digital camera wont really do anything!.
Buy a cannon camera with good lenses would help you to take better pictures!.
also , i think the second picture was edited very beautifully!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

Ehh!.!. You could take lots of really good pictures with DSLR type cameras!. They might seem cheap and old and stuff but that's the way to go if you want to take serious pictures!. However they cost at least 600+ if you get a good one!. You could use Photoshop, which is really good, it's one a use myself!.

Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com
