Thanks to cyclo for providing me with the link to this thread because I apparently am blind enough that I cannot find on my own!
I just wanted to share some pictures that I was happy with- thanks to this thread and each participant! I went hog wild taking these because of the lack of people in our group and the opportunity was there.
These are straight from the camera. Some I think could be done a bit better through composition or minor adjustments to the settings.
But overall I think I did really well. And the bonus? I wasn't shooting in the dark wondering just how far off they would be!

F3.5
WB= Auto (wasn't really sure what was best)

This one I think is a wee bit too bright. But I do think any darker and it could look equally off.
