thanks alot man!
But does anyone know why the pics came out so grainy?
i was shooting kodac 400 film btw, i also have fugi 250, do you think that would be better?
I shot every thing in manual, and my exposure was set on 2000.
The only setting i didnt know how to use was the option on choosing, M, S, A, or P, what do those do? and i was using M.
Thanks!

i don't know anything about film, but on a DSLR
M=full manual, you have to adjust aperture and shutter speed
S or Tv= shutter priority, you adjust shutter speed, camera auto adjusts aperture
A or Av= aperture priority, you adjust aperture, camera does shutter speed
P= camera does everything for you basically
your iso might've been too high causing the noise

alright, my guess is that your ISO was too high.
the ISO, or Filmspeed, is the measure of how much light is taken in. A closely related ISO system is used to measure the sensitivity of
digital imaging systems. In both digital and film photography, the
reduction of exposure corresponding to use of higher sensitivities
generally leads to reduced image quality (via coarser film grain or higher image noise of other types). Basically, the higher the film speed, the worse the photo quality .
when shooting in lots of light, it is better to have as low an ISO as possible. on a blue bird day i shoot at a 400 or 200 ISO, on a 100-3200 meter, depending on whether i am using a filter on.
I could shoot at a high iso but quicken my shutter speed / aperture combination, which i think is what you did. my shots would have enough light, but also some grain.

dude u gotta learn rule of thirds. centering every single photo gets so boring after a while.

it was explained well above, but just try to always have the lowest iso possible
the only reason to turn up iso is when there's not enough light and you need faster shutter speeds
when i'm shooting outside in bright sunlight i always start at 100 because they'll be the nicest looking pictures. then if i'm getting motion blur i'll put the iso up a bit or change the exposure compensation to get a faster shutter speed, but there's no reason to be shooting at 1000 in the sunny snow
also as for the rule of thirds, think of a picture being divided into 9 equal sections, so 3 rows and 3 columns. try to place your subjects where the lines intersect, so say you have an island and a horizon a little bit above the island. place the island on either side towards the bottom and your horizon towards the bottom of the photo. google for more info but if you center all your subjects the photo looks pretty boring
i think it works well as said above in the 2 photos i liked with the rails and for sports photo and portraits you can get away with not using it, but in general it's a helpful compositional tip
