Just a picture with new camera...

I'm just tossing in a pic of my boa. Still playing around with the new camera, getting used to things. :)

Wow very nice pics, Connie. What kind of camera did you end up getting?

On the awesome recommendation from AndrewH, I went with the Canon Rebel XT. I think that's the same one Ashley uses too. It really is a HUGE difference from my old one, the Canon Powershot s3 IS. (That was brand new till I bought this one!)

He also recommended a 50mm lens, that I got for a decent price. And by decent I mean I would have had to pay just as much with shipping to have it delivered on Monday.

Those setting are in auto, and just lucky shots. The colors came out so true because the cypress mulch was so close in color.

But yes, I am absolutely loving this camera!! Now I just have to learn how to use it. :P

Yay, Connie!!! :D

The pictures came out great!!! :gj:

Stunning boa!

BEAUTIFUL pictures, beautiful snake!! well done, i love its eyes, smokin!


;) yup!! I use a canon rebel XTi and i LOVE MY CAMERA!!!

I need to get a new battery for it though, keeps dying fairly quickly on me, i suppose after 1½yrs i shouldnt be complaining. I think ive taken 4951 pics with it to date (EEEK!) lol.. i wouldnt admit that to anyone but you guys though ;)

the 50mm will make a world of a difference, the only pit-fall is there is no zoom, you become the zoom hehehe.. i have the kit 18-55mm and the 75-300mm lens.

Once you learn to shoot on manual, you will never go back!! there is a great photography forum (wont list it here, pm me) that shares all kinds of tricks and its neat just to see what other people are shooting (i love looking at other peoples work) there is such a world of possibilities when you shoot in manual. For these being some of your first pics, youve done an amazing job

<sigh>
Beautiful
:)

That's a sweet pic for a first use with a new camera! Nice job!

Looking great :gj:

Beautiful boa. I just got a columbian myself. I will have to take a look at the cannon rebel myself. that is the next thing i am in the market for myself a good camera.

They're very nice cameras, especially the new ones. I was checking out cameras at the store yesterday and I'd swear the new model rebel shoots faster than my 4 year old model.

I have to admit that some of the high end powershot models are pretty awesome though. I've been looking at the G9, I've been wanting a smaller camera for everyday use...I don't really want to lug out the rebel and all the lenses for a birthday party all the time.

The boa looks great!

Nice boa and pics! I also have a Rebel XT and love it! You almost can't take a bad picture with a Canon, and the manual settings are great to play with. I wish they would make an Elan 7e in digital, that is a great camera!

nice snake. i need to invest in a halfway decent camera. either that or some picture taking skills lol
