Help for a Newbie

Heya Folks,
Since I see we have several pro photographers here, I'd like to ask some basic questions.

I only have a basic Kodak DC3200 digital camera - no zoom except at the lowest resolution, no extras at all.

I'd like tips on what I can do to get better pics on my hikes with this basic camera. It doesn't support extra lenses, nor any type of filter. I've tried taking all my shots at max resolution in the hopes of being able to zoom the pics in using my own software but have met with minimal success.

I've been to Kodak's site and read the basic composition concepts but advice for shooting in the varried conditions of a state park, such as sunrise/sunset shots, shooting in the bright light of the afternoon, shooting animals that I can't get close to (and sans zoom no less), etc would be incredibly helpful.

I'd even be willing to attempt to home-build a lens filter or somesuch if y'all think it would be useful to do. (Having images of a glass cutter, an old pair of sunglasses & a roll of duct tape )

Thanks in advance!
Ed
