Beginner Needing Help with New Camera!!!

grinch8

Hi everyone i am new on here and i am looking for some help,

I take all my photos with a old and not so good little fuji thing with dosent have manual focas or anything like that, yet i think i can still manage to get a few good photos. I wanted to start useing something a bit more technical with manual focas ect ect. And basicly my mum has a old Minolta Dimage 7 which i can use.
The problem is i find it way to complicated, all the shots i take are blured. i find everything a bit too comfusing. Although i am used to iso that isnt much use.
My Pinkbike album is:

And as you can see i think that all my pictures are a little to much the same, i.e same angles, same distance and the fact there there pretty much all of the same person.

any help would be great!
Thanks Grinch

With the photos where the rider has blurred, using a flash would probobly sort that.

I have a fuji 5600 which isnt a point and shoot but not a dslr either. It confused me at first but I find it very simple to use now. They're pretty cheap too.

As I lack skill, I think that if I went and got a dslr today my shots would get worse. I have used a mates dslr and I didnt do too well. It's probobly a bit like bikes. Buying an expensive bike won't make you a better rider unless you know how to use it to it's full potential.

As for angles, just nick other peoples ideas Smile
