I also have been working on getting to know the manual features on my camera. Until now I have shot strictly with the custom automatic features, but if I ever expect to upgrade and get a DSLR, I need to get to know what I am doing with these features. Here are a couple of practice shots. CC?
Sunday, I made a couple of cards as well as another altered notebook. The cards were made with Bella images that I received in a Splitcoaststampers swap. I LOVE them!
This first card is made with "Cruisahbella". I used Glassy Accents on the windshield and on the side of the car door. I used Crayola glitter glue on the flowers, and watercolor pencils to color the image itself.
The second card was made with "Snowbunny Bella." When I first saw this image the first thing I thought was, GLITTER!!! SHE NEEDS GLITTER! So glitter, I used! The bling-y flowers are from the JoAnns 1 dollar bin! The white fiber, from a long-ago swap.
This notebook was made for me to put my Splitcoaststampers ideas, my Dawn ideas and sketches down all in one place so that I am not at the mercy of a computer! I HATE being glued to this thing if I am trying to make a card. This is stamping bella, also from a splitcoast stampers swap. In this picture the notebook was not complete, just for the record.
I am hoping to get to the challenges over in Card Makin Mamas today. They are looking great. I got RAKd some BEAUTIFUL paper and flowers from Raz yesterday and I am thinking they would be GREAT for her sketch challenge. I am starting to get sick, though, and that usually zaps my crative mojo....::crosses fingers::

Love your cards, as always! It sounds like you guys are well on your way to your down payment.
CC on your photos...
On the fire - it looks great to me. I would prefer to see the tops of the flames, but that's purely preference, and not really a technical thing.
On the mushroom - the clarity is great on the gills. Great job! The sky and the top of the mushroom are blown out, and detract a bit from the focal point (the clear gills).
On sweet Noah - I love this shot! His cheek is a bit blown out, but that could be the b/w conversion or post processing. I would also sharpen and lighten his eyes just a tad. I think if you brought the brightness down on that left side of the frame and sharpened/lightened his eyes, you'd have a spectacular portrait!
Keep up the good work!
Once again, your cards are beautiful!
