Wanted, Help & advice for taking better pics

[wylie]

Hi, Im new to this section, i've just purchased a Nilon D3100 and attempted to take a few pics on sunday just gone. I was using the camera in auto mode and burst shooting , When I got home I uploaded the pics and I was a bit dissappointed with the results. I had quick search on this forum and found the link to Jimmy's help section , and realised where I went wrong, (use manual mode) The only item i could'nt find out about was the ISO setting! im guessing that this would have to be quite high?.
The lens I was using is Nikon 55-200 that came in the kit.
Here's link to the best pics.
