Nikon coolpix

YAY!! B/f bought my a coolpix L5, 7.2 mp- im so excited!! EXCEPT.... i cant seem to get these glorious pictures that i see you guys getting on here.

PLEASE, tell me your secrets. What modes do you find work best? Background and lighting? Any tips would be helpful :) Thanks!

The macro function is essential for the closeups. Congrats on the new camera! :clap: Was it a special occassion or are you just a lucky girl?

Congrats on the new camera, now you better start posting a ton of pictures!

I can't wait til tax return time, I'll be getting a new camera as well...so I can finally take some decent pictures!
