Default YES! definitely use a tripod. It's all about lighting too...

Make sure it's lit up just right. Have the light hit your subjects the way you want. In the first pic, you have good backlight, but lacking key light.

Then yes, play with the shutter and aperature, you'll learn by experimenting. Also adjust your ISO or ASA. Use a higher number like 400 in darker situations.
