Taking Good Pictures?

I LOVE taking pictures. I take them of myself, of nature, of random objects, just anything. I love photography.

Right now, I'm using an Olympus Digital Camera D-490 Zoom, slightly older and it's definatly worn out. Batteries need to be changed after about two sessions of photo taking. It's only a 2.1 mega pixel.

I'm looking to buy a new digital camera that is not too expensive (under $200) but still works excellent and will provide me with years of use.

I'd also like to know the secrets to taking good pictures. I already know about moving closer to the subject rather then using zoom, but what are some others?

Thank you!

Hello. Good for you friend on loving photography... so do I! Presently the digicams I am using are the Kodak Z612 (with 6mp and 12x optical zoom) and the Panasonic LZ4. I lean more on the Kodak model, but previously I had been using a Canon digicam... which come with good reviews. I like my Kodak fairly well and it's done well when I took it to Washington DC. It was under $200, has a li-ion rechargeable battery and uses the good ol' standard SD flash. Should you want a film camera, I love my Canon EOS Rebel K2 kit which comes with the body and a 28-90mm lens. I've gotten some awesome shots with it. I recommend it highly, and I use Fuji film 400 speed. It's a great film and the high film speed is a great all around film for most folks. I recommend using 800 speed to use in museums and such with the flash turned off as it gathers more of the available light. Zoom can be real handy when getting shots of things where you cannot get closer or if you did would ruin the intimacy. I found a 75-300mm lens at a yard sale with an old Rebel G for $75!! The lens itself sells for $150 alone!!! So use the zoom when you need to as a back up plan alright? I think one of the fundamental thing to honing your photograph muse is to EXPERIMENT. Try different things out, don't be afraid to NOT take a shot because you don't think it'll work out so well. Do read books and articles on line and draw from the wealth of information. Remember to take shots VERTICALLY as well as the usual horizontal. Take shots that lend itself to one orientation and do it in the other. Do some shots while on your belly. Get you a good tripod with three way panning, a monopod (Velbon makes one for $20 that's great: UP4000), and also get a ballhead perhaps by Sunpak or Giottos. You don't have to spend a lot of money to get something that will do the job! Good luck.
