It would have been houses in the way no matter how hard I tried, so I decided to line up the nicer looking house with the cloud in the background. If I took the time to get on the outside of town, the view would have been gone since it didn't last long. I've seen this kind of sunset before, and it doesn't happen very often. The last pics I took are these two:

yeah I've always had problem with houses with trying to take pics of sunsets well at least that house looks new and pretty
It seems you are very lucky living in a place with cool sunsets and storms course I have never seen that kind of sunsets before at least not that I can remember

I find it hard to get these kinds of pictures in big cities, too, cause there's so much around you. You live in a small city and you can get on the outskirts in 10-15 minutes.

lmao yeah I would probably take me hours to get to the outskirt of the city I currently live. but on the other side we do have some nice churches and cool buildings and statues here not to mention tourists and weird people

Yep... this is my favourite building/church that I've seen there when I was there:

Lol. You have a good composition, except it's a little blurry. You like blurry pics I think. Haha. I did post process mine a little too, adding in some clouds instead of boring blue sky.

ohh! you cheater and lol yeah   you know me and my blurry pics lol somehow I find it easier to focus on stuff with point and shoot camera than my new DSLR lmao probably because I am a newbie. heh I guess I'll need to post process my photos more in the future ^^

Well all I change when using the SLR is my ISO and shutter speed. Sometimes I get lazy and switch it so I only have to change the ISO or whatever. It's all personal preference. The more you use the cam the more you'll get used to it. At first I was like: Omg, this camera is insane I'm never going to understand it and get nice pictures. I've improved from my first experiences with it, it just takes time.
