Quick! I'm going with Steve B. to Beloit today to shoot some video for an active schools story. He said I can get some practice taking still shots. As I have confessed before, I don't even own a camera. My family only lets me take pictures when the stakes are low ("Can someone do a test shot to see if the batteries are fully charged?") or they want an abstract (read: blurry) point of view.
Exhibit A. A photo I took that makes my little brother's face look weird and is entirely out of focus. Note the quality background of a concrete wall and breaker box.
Does anyone have some quick and dirty tips for shooting quality pics?

My biggest tip (after foucusing on the nose) is to take LOTS of picks, even rapid fire when something important is happening. The more you have, the better chance you'll find a couple awesome ones.
