1) Shoot in Manual (M) mode as much as poss, if not then Shutter or Apeture priority modes. Once you have the power to control how the light is exposed onto the sensor then the whole photogrpahy thing takes on new life
2) Shoot in RAW. JPG is a compressed, and therefore manipulated, format. RAW is how the camera captured the light / image. Using a RAW convertor like ACR 4.2 (comes withe PS Elements 6) you'll be able to make much better adjustments to your pics, ie expsoure, tint, whiet balance, etc etc
BTW, the pics are superb. I'm considering an upgrade and while I want a D300 I think a D90 is a better choice (cost wise).
