Good start!
I have some tips for you:
1. When in Photomode, try to set your Exposure Value (e.v.) to either +0.03 to +0.07 depending on where you are, It helps to brighten up the pictures without the aid of Photoshop.
2. Read the Compose and Expose sticky on the forum to get a good idea on what people will find interesting in a gallery.
3. Try to stick to photodrive as it allows more creative freedom and gets you more interesting shots. (note: in the jukebox, empty your playlist so when you use the dive replay (square button) the camera will stick to a particular view until you press x.)
4. Arrange your gallery in such a way that it generates interest, for example, instead of naming your gallery "xxx's gallery" try giving it a unique name like for example my gallery: "S12ken's Dreamscape". Also try to find your style, a lot of us here use the blur/soft focus effect, it looks pretty but unless you execute it properly it gets boring really fast, each of us here have our own individual styles, browse around and you will see what i am talking about.
5. And lastly, don't be afraid to ask us to visit your gallery from time to time, it's not shameless marketing, rather its more of inviting us to come and view your work, do not be afraid of critiszm (speeling

) it will just help you grow as an artist.
well that's all i have to say and good luck with your gallery!
