Because I was using the body flash only I shot with a shutter speed of 60 ISO of 250 and an F stop of 40. I think the body flash of this camera is better then my other one. Why do you ask? Does the picture suck?

F40 is over kill.
Personally I've never gone beyond f16, but every lens has its own "sweet spot". The "optimum" sharpness of most lenses is in the f/8-f/11 range, to avoid diffraction stay close to that aperture. Of course stopping down gains you depth of field, which is handy for landscape shooting but too much can actually degrade your photo.

I am still tinkering with this camera. It is running hot over all and I am working to compensate for that without making the picture look fake. If I shoot a picture at a shutter speed of 250, ISO of L1.0(lowest I can go), and F16 I get an over exposed picture, even with the body flash only. With the ring flash I’d get nothing but a white picture.
Plus at this point I know absolutely nothing about shooting NEF RAW images and post photo processing so I have been shooting in JPEG and that hinders my ability to correct some issues after a good picture has been taken.
Ether way though, I am on a learning curve. I am not trying to become a pro any time soon. I just play with it when I have time.

Glad to see you stopped by to comment though, it's been a while since you fit me in for some criticism. :p

Both internal and ex. flash setup can be adjusting with the camera. If you are getting overexposed photos with the flash, adjust the flash compensation. I don't have experience with Nikon's interface, so I can't tell how to. But all the information can be found in the instruction manual. Shooting RAW takes to much post-processing work for me, so I rarely shoot in RAW unless I have trouble correcting the white balance. Alittle critique every now and then is always good, don't matter if you're pro or not. In the mean time, keep up the good work man! Always looked forward to seeing photos from you.

I do know what you are talking about.......... I am going to have to dive into the manual to figure that out......
(15 minutes later)....ahhhh I see what I was doing. I had a function on called active D lighting, and I had it set on high. I'll play with it more later to see if I can't get some good pics.
Thanks for the advice.

Well I think your pictures are awesome. They are definitely way better that anything I could take with my lack of equipment and experience. My mother in law is seriously into photograpy, though, and has all the expensive stuff. I am going to try to get her to come over for a 'T photo shoot.':D
