Are you getting the car or the picture.
What a great idea, how long did it take to put together. I might try going some thing in a man type deal.
Hi from Port Charlotte fl.

I to love sunrise and sunset pics. When I got a divorce from my first wife, to teach me a lesson, she burned about 10,000 slides I had taken/ Now I have taken another 2,000 with digital camera, and have them backed up twice..If anything happens with this wife, i'll take the pics before I tell her I'm leaving..
First tell us what type of pics you want to take and how much money u have to spend.
Did you ever look at the pros. taking pics at the games, they all have canon L lenses that cost from $2000. to $6000. depending on what MM they are. Don't expect to get shots like they do..
I helped my friend do a few weddings, just holding the second flash, ( I do other types of photography ) when you say stress, you aren't kidding, just try to get 10 or 15 drunks to do what you ask them..Then the bride sees the pics later and says they stink. You want to rip your hair out after awhile..
Have same camera, and have never had problem with color with it in auto. Hope u didn't drop it..
The only thing with the cat pic, I would have taken the fan out with photo shop..
you can only take 10 or 20 pics with a 32mb card.. go to the store and buy a 4gb card, try to get the fastest card you can afford, because it will download the pics much faster
I have taken many sunsets, the best way for me is always use a tripod, always use a remote sutter release, next take a light meter reading, put the camera on manual mode, put the readings in the camera. Start by taking your first pic that way, then change your shutter to one stop faster. That will let less light in. I usually do it five or six times, incresing the shutter speed each time. when you get home you can add any little adjustments in photoshop..
One great thing about digital, you can take 100 pics and it doesn't cost any more than taking one. Years ago when I did weddings we used alot of film. So take pics from every angle, you will get different shadows,different light, depth of field, and so on..
Is there a reason for the no flash?? As much as I know high ISO numbers equal noise. Canon has L lenses that may help a little, but your talkin big $$$$$$$$$$$$$
I hate doing weddings, the biggest problem is the people drinking before you get any good pics. After you get done and fix all the pics the best you can, the bride comes to look at them, and tells you they suck. You try to explain that you told her to get the people to do certain posses, but nobody would listen.
but back to the shots.. set lens at f8. speed at 1/125.. ISO 100 or 200 and adjust flash to get best lighting. Keep the flash going all the time, because there will be shadows from the lighting on the boat. The lens will be determined by how far you can back up..
What a great explaination from jwpulliam, I don't think I can add anything, except you even have to be careful about a wind at night that could move the camera..
Are you taking the pic of the glass or whats behind it. Also are you trying to get a reflection in the glass?? A little more info might help....
