Ive been down the carrs near where i live, rivers, trees, banks, and grassy areas. Was sunny today and i mostly used "Program" mode which set the F itself mostly, all i did was alter the exposure compensation for lighter or darker settings.
I shall upload some and post them, you might still think they are over exposed though, its just so scary taking a picture using the LCD screen when it looks dark. If you know what i mean.

Don't confuse what you see on the LCD with the image you are taking, think of it like the viewfinder on a point and shoot film camera. It's just a way of aiming at the subject.
The various scene options (Portrait, Sports, Landscape etc) are very good these days, I tend to use them 95% of the time. It's only when I'm shooting against the light or macro close up that I use manual settings.
It's good to experiment with the manual options and get a good understanding of your camera, but for day to day photography or to grab that quick shot automatic is fine.
