Photo Box

I have been taking my pictures and wondering what I was doing wrong. So I went searching for some answers and came up with a homemade photo box. It didn't cost me anything to make, I already had what I needed. Also I had been holding my digital camera and sometimes I would move and the picture would blur. So I got the tripod out and used it. I am still learning how to use it, any advice would be so welcome. I was really unhappy with the charm pictures and knew there had to be a better way. This is my first picture.....I think this is going to make life a little brighter......
