The first thing about taking good pictures: Either find interesting subjects to take pictures of, or take pictures of uninteresting subjects in an interesting way. Try not to take the same picture that everyone else does.

For example, if there is a button on your camera with a little flower on it to indicate macros, that should be a clue to you that flower macros aren't the most unique and exciting subject to choose.
