Need some pointers (see the pix and rate)

[CleanNeon98]

Here are some pictures I have done in the past year. Some were with a simple point and shoot camera, some with a digital superzoom finepix s5200, and some with a kodak ls753. Any advice to improve? All were taken without a tripod, and mostly very quickly.

I havent gotten a chance to use the S5200 a whole lot, but I plan to expand with it at the Auto Show. Any advice so I can have good memorable pictures?

P.S. the ones that came out grainy with the S5200, I wasnt using full quality :(

i like #1..the rest could use some work. whether it be less noise, better focus, or better composition, but not too bad
