Paint the Sky.

So I got a Nikon D60 for Christmas, bought a polarizing filter the day after, and have been taking a lot of photos with it since. Here are some of my favorite shots with it so far:

Oooooo nice camera. I kinda want to upgrade my nikon, but the bodies alone are too expensive

I really like "can't stop the setting sun" but a 55mm isn't really the best lens to use on a shot like this imo. The sun's wayyy too small.

The sun was small to begin with. It wasn't one of those beautiful giant sun sunsets. It was a small sun off in the distance that was usually hidden behind the clouds with a sky that had really wonderful blues, oranges, and reds. I had a 55-200mm with me, but zooming in cut out most of the colors of the sky and ruined the composition that I had originally intended so I stuck with my 18-55mm since 55mm and a little less were perfect for the shots I wanted.
