P.S.

My tip #1: Goodwill usually has used camera tripods for $3-$20. ANY tripod is lots better than none. I used a little duct tape on one and now it's great.

My Tip #2: Try some of the other "pre-set settings" in your camera besides Normal, Outdoor and Macro. You never know!

My Tip #3: Most photo software has some "auto-correct" feature. If you open a photo with that software and click the button, it may improve that photo. If you know as little about photography and cameras as I do, it USUALLY improves it. But if the color becomes less accurate, that might be bad.


P.P.S.
Does anyone know a way to defeat the blurring caused by wind and flowers nodding and swaying? I usually try the "anti-hand-shaking" setting, but that doesn't always help enough. Just wait for a less windy day?

If my subject is swaying mildly or moving, I turn my mode dial to sports mode - the running man icon on the dial; it helps to capture the image faster; faster shutter speed.
