last week i purchased a Canon Powershot S3 IS. It has 12 op zoom, 6 mp, macro and super macro, and i bought a 2 gig high speed SD card for it. i have had some time to frig around with it and have taken a few good shots of my snakes. however, i always see great looking pictires on this site and was wondering what tips u guys/gals could give a newbie. for example, what type of lighting is best, anything to help me on my way. here is one of my favorites of my anery corn i purchased a few weeks ago.

thanks, nate
