Im new to digital photography and make my share of boo-boos. A few days ago I took some pictures of a beaver pond and a small mountain stream. The ones of the pond were for the most part washed out, while the ones of the stream were 50-50. It was a bright day and upon investigation I discovered that my ISO was set on 400, where it should have been maybe 50 or 100. Am I correct?

That would certainly have contributed to the problem, yes. In most cases you can probably leave your ISO on auto (if your camera has that option) unless you have a specific need not to use auto. For example, on my camera, the auto will not set the ISO above 200. If I need ISO 400 (or, God forbid, 800), I have to set it manually.
