Ok so here's the deal, I take alot of pictures (mostly for myspace) and mostly all of mine will turn out horrible. Any tips on picture taking ? I dont have a professinal camra or anything just my digital one.

My question is what makes you think the photos are horrible?
You said yourself they are mainly for Myspace, so why worry about posting professional styled glamour photographs?
As the genius above mentioned (the really, really smart one who thinks typing in all caps is cool), lighting is truly crucial.
Most cameras (amateur and professional) have mounts for tripods. You can pick up a cheap one at walmart for like $18. Set that up with your camera on it and take photos of yourself just having fun. Try taking ones outside (especially at dawn or dusk) to get a natural warm overtone and very even lighting.
It's really hard to elaborate any more than that, cuz you didn't really give much to go on, other than 'turn out horrible'. For all I know that means they are blurry, under exposed, over exposed, etc.

i have considered ones with --the marriage party walking in--no longer constructive how your bridesmaids, maid of honor, grooms men, and so on will be attending to the front. --then the bride such as her father or who ever is giving her away. also the moms being seated. --countless ones of the ceremony...the moms lighting fixtures the solidarity candle, the bride and groom searching lovingly into each others eyes, if you're having candle lighters, particular music, and so on...of course you may want to capture the ring change and the kiss then once you're provided as guy and spouse then walking down the aisle jointly. (those would remember on the guidelines the minister has...this may nicely be some thing to study) --after with the marriage party usually there are some with the bride and her females then the groom with the girls, the groom such as his men and the bride with the lads...those would nicely be humorous or severe...the bride w/ her father and mother, grandparents and different relations then the groom with the brides relations and the groom such as his relations, and so on. --the reception you'll definately choose the cake and once you've somewhat wine glasses. What i have continually idea became neat on the reception became only havign disposible cameras and let the human beings there take pictures, i'd only make an observation for persons to keep them tasetful. One photo I truthfully have continually loved became the shot of the brides hand and the grooms hand once the ceremony is done. I truthfully have some pictures from my nieces weddings i visit deliver you in case you would opt to get some recommendations. good success and Congrats!

As Dr Sam said, take your time in letting the camera focus and snap. Read your camera manual. Find out what the settings are and how they effect your photo. Go to www.kodak.com and read their tutorial for beginning photographers.
Without knowing why your images are horrible, it is hard to make suggestions other than general ones. But some things apply to all photography. Try to shoot outdoors during the golden hours, that is early morning or late afternoon. Learn what the rule of thirds is. Study images you like from good photographers and think about what made you like them and how you can duplicate the look.
You don't have to have an expensive camera to take good pictures. Just learn, practice, and have fun!

A common error is to push the button too fast. Another is to move the camera too soon after you push the button.
There is considerable shutter lag with point and shoot digitals and you have to be sure to hold still for long enough for the camera to actually take the picture. This will take up to a full second. Watch the little green light (usually) on the back of your camera. Hold the button half-way down and wait until it lights up steady instead of blinking. This means the auto-focus operation is complete. Press the button the rest of the way down and hold it there for about a second to allow time for the shutter to actually take the picture. Good luck!

THE LIGHTING SETUP IS CRUCIAL TO SHOOTING A GOOD PORTRAIT PIC, REGARDLESS OF WHAT KIND OF CAMERA YOU'RE USING, MAKE SURE IT'S BEHIND THE CAMERA FACEING TOWARD YOU, AND SNAP A SHOT, SEE HOW THAT WORKS OUT.
