I've done a few screenies, and one of the biggest helps I found was just spending time in the gallery and seeing the beautiful work the other snipers are putting together.  Ask a lot of questions of the others in the gallery too.  Also build up you inventory of things like widgets, right clicks, etc..  And above all, do it because YOU love it and not for others.  The best of luck and welcome to the site and especially the forums.  You will find a world of wonderful people here.
