A few photos a day helps you in a way..
in a way to improve your photography skills of course! Wilson installed watermarks for me! the thingy on the bottom right. 
my first shot yesterday. A bit blurry.

something my dad bought for ME!

This red bump was made during the 1st of november where I walked so much in my pair of heels, THEN, yesterday I accidentally knocked my leg on the table and it went bleeding for a bit. sakits!

it is SO DAMN HARD to take this picture. One hand balancing my heavy camera another hand posing right in front of it, shake so much! and yea,will have a step by step post on how to make this type of nail art later when I help my mom or sis do it. =)
you people shall see how I improve!

These days I realised a lot of girls love doing nail-art and those arts look really pretty especially the good ones.
;D

Yeah, I know your sister loves doing nail-art. We used to be coursemates during Foundation studies. Well, practice makes perfect. Heh!

You need to steady your camera on something. Your shots are still blurry. Have you adjusted the eyepiece / viewfinder? Make sure it’s sharp when you look through it.
Set your auto focus on, focus on something and make sure it’s focused, look through your viewfinder and make sure it looks sharp to you. If it is focused but through the viewfinder, it’s not, then you have to adjust it accordingly to your eyesight.
Macro shots are some of the easiest to do, you’ll learn them in time. Cheers~

hi Tristan, I think I know why is it so blurry, because i put manual focus and stuff. so i can’t really seem to get it right, the clearest pix are the last 2 right.

Lighting helps =D Lots and lots of light.

When you use manual focus, you have to make sure that the image that you are trying to capture is properly focused and it’s sharp in your eyes. Manual focusing is totally different from Auto; so have to be careful.

hmm, I think that it’s kinda clear looking through the eye piece (is this something in science only or can I use it for cameras too?). but when it came out its a lil blurry, although it’s not very very, but still kind of. if I use auto, normally they don’t get which part I want to be clear and which part to appear blurry. and no Yernie, I don’t have all kind of lightings like the professionals, I just got the one stucking up there on the wall. =P. and a lampshade where it’s so damn disturbing to plug in.

you can do “selective focusing” to get the parts you want in focus (clear) and whichever you do not… read the manual. it’ll tell you what to do with it. once you have discovered that, you pictures will improve alot – trust me

True enough that lighting does help but it also depends on what you are actually shooting; the subject that you are planning to take a photo of. It does not mean that you need studio lightings to be good because those sweet lightings cost a massive BOMB. By the way, study desk lamp can sometimes help if you’re taking small subjects; in my opinion (I’ve tested it before) because they are bright enough, like I said it depends on what you’re shooting.
