Title: New Camera
Post by: Soylent Yellow on September 29, 2008, 03:15:58 PM
I finally bought a dslr camera.  Now I just have to learn to use it.  Its a Canon EOS Rebel XT.  It came with a 18-55 lens.  I got it at Target $350.  So far, I like it.  Here are some examples of the pictures I've taken with it.

Nice shots Mitch. Heather and I especially like the first one.

By the way, wi-fi is a great thing, I'm typing this from a hotel room at the Old Tavern Inn in Grafton, VT.

Ewwww!  What's in the 4th picture? 

It looks like you have a good start on learning the camera since the pictures came out really good.  I especially like the one by the water and the butterfly, although the rest came out good as well.  The tooth picture made me shudder.  :o  ;D

Those are cicada skins.  Every summer they come up out of the ground and shed their skin.  Then they fly up into the tree and buzz all summer long.  They can be incredibly noisy.

Thanks everyone for the encouragement.  Hopefully I'll be out taking some excursion pics.
