Playing around with the camera

This is the beautiful lake we live 5 minutes from. I really love living here. Anyway, not that these are fabulous pictures but I went out one night and played around with my camera which is still pretty new to me. For those of you who are interested, the first picture was taken before the second. However in the first picture I metered off the sun and in the second I metered off the blue sky and then reset it on the sunset. This is the difference between the two. Isn't that interesting?
