The general rules seem to be:

• Aim for the best depth of field
• Depth of field means small aperture and long exposure
• Keep the camera steady on a tripod
• Use lighting
• Don't used mixed fluorescent and incandescent lighting
• Forget film, go digital
• Its all about the light and how it is directed

I'll keep adding to the list as I learn.  Mostly I'm trying to figure out how to work the camera.  

Got ideas for me?  I'd love to hear them!
