I have a question about photography. I have a hp photosmart 733 digital camera, and I was wondering how I could make pictures look more professional. Any tips?
Thanks in advance!

Well, to make pictures look more professional you need to look at the details such as; lighting, angle, color,
Lighting: You don't want the object of your picture to be washed out of too dark; you need it just right.
Angle: Instead of doing a straight on shot why not experiment with different angles? Try a side angle or maybe even a ground angle. Just experiment with different types, you'll soon find one you like.
Color: Self-explainitory. Take incounter what the subject of your picture's colors are. You want your picture to stand out and all the colors to blend together wonderfully.

It is not easy, I can testify to that much. They forced photography on us journalism students and gave us no option whether we wanted to learn photography or not. I chose to stick to the written, printed, online, spoken or televised word.
For you shtterbugs, I recommend reading really dumbed down as the adult ones are too complex reference books or how-to books and learn out of those. Among what I think most teens can grasp is photography for dummies as well as idiots.
Simple stuff to know on backgrounds, shade and too much, shadow and too much, brightness and too much and how to create effects all covered in those books.
The other thing if becoming a pro is your bent learn the software for fixing negatives and photos
called PhotoShop. Reading the dummies guide on it and messing around if you have patience (where I do not) for that kind of thing will help as will
a Macintosh in the future they can hold more design programs than anything else.
For now though learn the basics and if anyone tries to teach you stuff you are not totally sure of or ready for let them know you are still working on X and not Z.
Another thing learn film speeds and ISO numbers. 200-1000. They mean something and it is all about speed. Some photos right now can only be taken by film. We are talking the majority of stop-motion pictures.
Say you were two feet away from Lance Armstrong on
his bicycle and you wanted a photo that did not blur. You need to know what film ISO takes picture perfect stop motion photos each time. It gets more complicated but I think that book above will help.
