I agree, they are both really nice pictures. Since i am just learning, could you tell me what settings you had on your camera for these shots. I have a D3100 so i don't know if all camera settings are the same.

I have a Nikon D3100 also, I think for the sunset I did automatic and for the firepit I used the "guide" mode on the camera and where it says slow water fall, I just kept playing around and changing it and taking pic. I am very new to all this and I am thinking about buying one of those dummy books. Sometimes I think I am not good enough to be on UHH.

Playing around is a great way to see what different settings do, and with digital, it costs nothing! It's a great way to get immediate feedback (unlike film), and each photo has stored all the information about settings, so you can review what you did and how it turned out.
I would highly recommend "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson-- it is a great way to learn what the different settings do, with lots of examples, written in clear English by someone who obviously loves photography.
And nobody is "not good enough to be on UHH"! This is a site for anyone who wants to learn, and there are many good teachers here who want to help. So keep shooting and posting and asking, and you'll learn a lot. Those are very good shots, so you are well on your way.

Hi Stacy
I think the 'ORIGINAL' is better! In the Imaged one, the sky and the 'sunset' allure is the same, but the foreground is different.
Beautiful Photos

Love the fire one. I'm going to have to try that. No guided modes on my D200, but digital film is free, and fun to play with.

I know the feeling. I bought a paperback book called: From Snapshots to Great Shots by Jeff Revell and it has helped me greatly, plus everyone here has given me some outstanding pointers. Let me now how you do and i will do the same. I am getting ready to take a trip in the back country of the skyline drive in virginia this coming weekend and I am bringing my camera. Hope to get some great pictures so I can post them and get some input .

Skutterbug~~I have a friend who has a cabin on the lake in my hometown. I also work at a campground during the summer months. So, I guess I kinda camp all summer. The other nine months I am a baker at our school
