1. just walk aroubnd what you want picture of til the light is great, take it with you to parties/ days out/ stuff then whenever you all crack up laffin just take a snap. Nice and natural
2. Look at lots and lots of images and see what you like. If you like it try and do it yourself. Experiment with light and lighting. Heres one to try - a water drip. http://www.flickr.com/photos/martini2005/2168042948/ This was done quickly and I will redo it at some time, just an idea for you. a

4. Hold your camera level unless you are taking an artistic shot. Be careful to keep your shadow out of the picture. Make sure nothing in the background lines up unattractively with the subject, such as branches coming out of a person's head. Be careful not to get too close to the subject. Be sure your subject does not cast a shadow against a wall. Keep the camera lens clean. Do not touch it with your fingers. Make sure the sun is behind you. It should shine on the subject and not on the camera lens. Make sure your finger does not accidentally get in front of the lens. Avoid Making these Common Mistakes Backgrounds that are too busy. Posed pictures. Strive for a relaxed appearance. Photographing something that is moving rapidly past you. Shoot action shots head on. Shooting the first thing you see. Take your time and plan your shots. Photographing Animals Move close enough to the animal so that it is the focus of the picture rather than the background. At the zoo you may have to wait on the animal to move to a spot the will allow you to frame a good shot. Let the animal get used to having you around. Remain calm and quiet. Stoop or sit so that the camera is almost level with the animal. Be patient and wait for a good shot.
5. I've found that tilting the camera when taking some shots helps eliminate shadows or dark spots. Avoid taking shots in front of mirrors, glass windows, & doors. Be sure if u're taking daylight pics, that the sun is behind u, instead of behind the people or object u're photographing. Pics taken at dusk or dawn are always beautiful, but be sure that your camera has an auto adjust to help with the lighting. Take pictures in all sorts of angles, close-ups, & such. Experiment, & u'll find your niche.
6. Well, first, get to know your camera, and its manual. Just shoot within its engineered specifications. If you try to work outside those, you will have a lot of aggravation. Basically, make sure you have plenty of light, dont get too close to your subject, and keep your camera still when shooting. Tripods come in handy. They will help you a lot. While learning, try to not just pop the camera to your eye, and click the shutter. Think about what you want the photo to look like, and what you need to do to setup the shot. Change location, camera settings, etc... When you learn to make your shot, you will get more pride and enjoyment from the pics. Once you get your shot set up, take several shots, changing your camera settings, or shot perspective, and see what works, and the differences the changes make. You might like one of the adjustments more than your original setup. Shoot things that you enjoy. When you find something, find a way to shoot it that is different than just getting it in frame. Compose your shot differently. Shoot from different angles and directions. Move the subject around in the frame, catch some foreground or background, for secondary subjects. Such as: Shooting a flower. Dont place the flower in the middle of the frame, move it around, and include any items that might give the flower some perspective. Or, instead of standing over the flower, drop the camera to ground level and shoot up, include blue sky, the mcdonalds sign, or whatever. You can shoot buildings. Instead of shooting from a 90 degree angle to the building, Move to the side to change the angle. Move up alongside the building, step away a couple of feet, and shoot it. Shoot both landscape and portrait style perspectives. Even somewhere in between. And have fun.
