First thing to do; Shoot OUTSIDE. Indoor photography is much harder to master than outdoor because of the lack of light.

Second, DO NOT use the green full-auto mode. Use P instead. Be sure you keep the ISO as low as possible. Low ISO = Low noise.

Third, if you're going to do any indoor shooting, or even outdoor, get an external flash. Most have a movable head so you can bounce in different directions. Makes for much better pictures than straight on. The built-in flash is a joke.

thanks man I will definately remember to use the p when I'm shooting.

never, EVER shoot in auto mode. always use full manual mode.
take the time to learn your camera, learn all its features and then learn how to use its features.

This is what I use to make the borders bro...



You make the square, and then right click, select inverse, and then fill, and then stroke..That's how I do it anyways Hope that helps..

Pics look nice man, it really helps when you have a DSLR Do you mind if I post some of my noob pix on this thread of yours? I won't post any until you say yes
