New camera, yea!....

Well I finally sucked it up and got a dslr. No more point and shoot. Ended up going with an xti, sigma 18-50 2.8, and a polarizer for now. Happy with it for sure but also finding it a little frustrating. Definitely a bit of a learning curve I think. Went out for a little hike yesterday and took the camera. Almost everything I took seemed to be way overexposed, almost like I had bumped up the iso some. I was shooting in a dark, damp, cloudy northwest forest and you would think I took the shots in the same place but mid summer at noon with no clouds. Any insight here? I tried several different modes including manual, aperture priority, shutter priority etc.. Have a feeling this is a stupid mistake where Im overlooking something fairly simple. Other than that I think it was a good choice. Heres a few shots from the first weekend with it.
