Oh, well I just put it on "no flash" and let it choose the appropriate shutter speed for what it thinks will work. And if the shutter speed is going to be super slow, say less than 1/15th second, I know that I might move and end up blurry, so I either need more light (turning on more lights or moving the object) or I need to use a tripod to make sure the camera is still, or I just need to take a bzillion identical pictures and pick out the ONE where I didn't move and make it blurry.
My camera is pretty automatic. I don't do any controlling of F-stops and shutter speed and all that. (That stuff confuses me so bad...)
Oh also, I do sometimes increase contrast in photoshop afterwards. But not usually.
Actually, now I'm looking at your pictures and it seems like you usually use flash. Don't you? That makes all the difference in the world, if you can do it without flash. (Goes to look at tea room, eeee! I totally missed that!)
