A useful tip in nature photography

See this picture? Fine, ain't it? Thank you, thank you! Hehehe...I am largely into nature photography, and therefore I thought of sharing a tip with you today.
If you want to take photographs like the one above, it's fairly easy. The trick lies in the mode which you use, and proper focusing. I photographed this wild flower in Goa, using a Kodak Easyshare C643 digital camera. See? No big deal, no professional equipment used. Just a plain o'l digicam does the trick...how?

• Go into the main menu of your camera, and scroll to the "white balance" menu. Under this, you should usually find a number of options such as Auto, Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, etc. The default selection is "Auto". Change this to "Tungsten".
• Now, change the photography mode from Auto, to Close up mode (for subjects closer than 28 inches / 70 cm). Rotate the dial on top of your camera for changing modes.
  
• Now, try to focus the camera on the subject you want to shoot. Make sure you half-press the shoot button for a couple of seconds and then fully press the button; this enables you to better focus your photographs. If it appears to be blurred, try holding your camera a little bit farther from the subject, and try again. Thus, you can avoid a great deal of "blurry" images by using this simple technique. I agree that it's a fundamental in photography, yet; many people may not know about it.

• Click, and boom! That's it. Simple, isn't it? And the effect is simply charming, I think it's much better than daylight photography.
  

That's it for today....keep looking for more, I'll add as and when I discover...
Cheers!
