Canon PowerShot a650 IS & a Beginning Photographer

I'm probably the only person on here not using a dSLR.

But then again, I'm also a 15 year old with a $5 a week allowance. I've been into Photography for a few years, but I just realized a couple of months ago that I could actually take professional pictures if I wanted to.

So I got some cash, and spent over $500 on a Canon Powershot a650 IS with a SanDisk UltraII 4GB SD card, and a two-year replacment warranty. The camera has a vari-angle screen and almost as many customizable settings as an dSLR (ISO, Aperature, Shutter Speed, all of that good stuff).

I'm learning with it. Too fast of a shutter speed and not enough light gets in... too high of an ISO and it gets noisy... stuff like that. Do you have any tips for me that I can use for an amateur photographer?

Also, out of all the pictures that I have uploaded so far, the only one taken by this new camera is the one called "Blue Skied Palm Trees".

Thanks for all of your help. :]
