Thank you Thank you! I value your opinion! I have looked into a diffuser and a reflector and I do have many ideas for photos in my head. I love photography.. sometimes its annoying because i'll see something and dont have a camera.. haha. I have played around in the manual setting a little bit, i have figured out with bright light i have to turn down my iso setting and in dim light it seems to help if i up the iso setting.. but thats about it. I try using my A-dep setting but i never get what i picture in my head.
can you or anyone suggest a a forum or web page where i might be able to learn a little more about ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture opening??

Youre concepts are great, you just need to add some fill-light. You can get a cheap reflector and bounce some light on your subjects, or eventually invest in an off-camera strobe or speedlite. I bet you have got some really creative ideas bouncing around in your head and I look forward to seeing more of your work.
Eventually, youll need to learn how to shoot in manual so that you can better control your light placement, exposure and depth of field effects. It has nothing to do with shooting in RAW. I was a hard-core RAW shooter for years and just recently switched to shooting in JPEG. The RAW/JPEG argument is a thread in itself, but thats just the format you choose to use, and something you can get into down the road. Shooting manual means that you control your ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture opening, the most important components of exposure. Get a grasp of these controls and how they relate to one another and your photography will improve ten-fold.
In my opinion, I bet you have pro-potential, just learn the technical stuff now.
Youre concepts are great, you just need to add so... (
