awesomeness!
Hey so I have a Sony Ericsson k790a it has a 3.2 megapixel camera and a xenon flash. It seems to be quite the phone + camera. I really like the fact that no matter where I go I will always have a camera with me.

The only thing is that I am not so amazing with the taking of the pictures. Does anyone have any recommendations on good sites to check out to teach you how to take better pictures?

thanks

nothing is wrong - what are you scared of?
well I think that you need to be able to control the aspects of exposure to have a decent camera. can you adjust the aperture and shutter speed on that camera? It is mostly just experimentation. take lots of pictures and dont be afraid to look silly doing it. some composition tips:

landscapes with the horizon dead center cutting the frame in half is usually a no no. try filling the frame up with 1/3 land and 2/3 sky or the other way around. this is a part of the rule of thirds.

try different angles. getting a new perspective by shooting at hip height or ground level or maybe even holding the camera above your head.

Use strong shapes and lines to drive the eye through the photograph.

patterns and the disruption in patterns is usually appealing to the eye as well.

ultimately it is up to you. keep on doing what you think looks good and just practice practice. keep an open mind to everything around you and dont be afraid to capture it!
