AWESOME tutorial. I love it. As I read the instructions I took out my camera and started adjusting everything and I finally got really nice natural pictures. Now I can post more FOTD pics.

Try using the Macro setting on your camera. Also, when you take a picture half hold down the button for a moment before pressing it down fully (this lets the lens focus better - on my camera this works anyways!).
Hope that helps!

Can we see some of the pictures that doesn't work? That would make it easier to see what you can do differently.

But yes, use the macro function, make sure there is plenty of light. A lot of daylight plus lights on is the way to go. And make sure you focus by pressing the button halfway down first. And hold the camera still!

Oh there is a thread about how to take photos *jump*

I am using a Nikon D90 (18-200mm) and a wireless button to focus (don't know how it is called in englisch

), but my self-portrait pictures are always totally washed out! Do you know what I should do?? I also tried to change the time and the ISO manually and I try to get sunlight from the window..
Maybe it's the objective, which isn't good for indoor photos?
