This Article helped me alot to get my photos better. mainly what it looks like is one using a flash bad mojo, and a flash with a mirror adds to the trouble, basics tho are some good lighting, no flash use a tripod or even sit the camera on somethin steady and use it\'s timer. I use gimp (free photo software) takes a bit to get use to but works great to help balance lighting contrast and sharpness so on. as far as the mini looks wery nice skin can\'t wait to see it when it\'s not washed out by the flash.
Hope to see some good pics bud, good luck
