I'll be really surprised to see you get pictures better than what you're already getting, Kay!! Do they get any better than that?

[Giselle]

Gorgeous!! I'm so excited for future photoshoots! (btw, is an SLR a film camera or is yours a digital SLR?)

[Ceph]

Are you shooting in RAW by any chance? I've been shooting Digital SLR's for about four years now and have just discovered RAW, and I love it!

Yikes... I'm so outdated...I still have a Sony Cyber Shot from 5 years ago.
(3.2 megapixels)


I need to get with the program!!!

Congrats on your new camera Kay!

Congratulations on the new camera Kay! I knew you'd be getting an SLR soon. Looking forward to more pictures!

The lens can really make the difference so always get the best lens you can afford. Of course this is quite an expensive hobby . I have a canon 28-135mm lens with image stabilizer. It's a good general lens for wide angle or zoom. I'll be sticking with that lens til I feel I have learned enough about photograpy to spend more. It does work good with action shots on the sports setting. I'm still trying to master the manual settings even after a photography class at a local school.

Thanks everyone!

Sophie, It's a DSLR.

Caph, I haven't yet. I am saving up for a larger memory card (and a better lense.) With RAW images I'd only be able to take 1 picture at a time.

[Ceph]

which camera is it? lol, I can take about 150 on my 2gig card...and then I have two other 1gigs...I've been collecting...I have a 20d...and my next goal is a wide lense.

Congrats on the new camera, Kay! I can't wait to see lots more pics from it. You are awesome with a camera!

Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi/400 D. It takes Compact Flash I or II - Same cards at my A80, but my A80 was able to take around 400 on the same card.

[Ceph]

lol, thats cause the xti is what 10mega pixels?

Part of me wants to get one and use it as my throw around camera....mmmm...I love camera's...

lol, good choice with canon (lol, canon and nikon wars are always fun )

[Laura's Babies]

Those are WONDERFUL pictures!!! That one of Kiki barking at you is PRICELESS! You should use that picture in a thread of it's on and name it "Caption This" and let us have some FUN!

[Argranade]

Great photos,

I could get a realy awsome camera for my birthday but I realy want another bird .... it's so hard to decide because I love photography but I love having birds better lol.

[wolflady]

That's cool, Kay! Congrats on the new camera!

I have the Digital Rebel XTi as well, and would be curious to get/share pointers with others who have these cameras. I know they have quite the potential to shoot some wicked cool shots, so I'd really like to learn more about the manual settings. I've really only played with the pre-set functions so far. I'm just using the lens it came with, but would like to eventually get another lends or two. What would be a good investment moving forward in terms of what lenses to buy for these cameras?
