loving my new (used) rebel xt & it is loving me too


There is an awful lot to remember and I must remind myself that the camera has only been in my hands for a few days. I accidently shot a bunch of shots with my ISO at 800 so they were grainy, I accidently shot in jpg not raw for far to many, I had hard time with some shots the other night but I had hit the timer button instead of the one shot button (secretly I thought my camera was broken, it wasn't), and now must remember what all the dials do in all the different modes. Good thing is just typing about it is making me want to go downstairs and play with the camera some more.

so far i've just been trying to master the manual (or creative as the manual calls them) controls. I've been having so much fun. Just keep rereading the manual and practicing with the camera.

I'm taking it with me to the park tonight (Church Ice Cream Social) but I am pretty sure the
light will be worthless (look at me pretending to know what I am talking about already).

Here are a few so far. Nothing too exciting. But hopefully more exciting things are to come.

The outside shots are just me discovering the joy of my aperture and focus points and I am
sure more but I can't remember all I was learning at the moment.

Meet my models - in the back is C for Camel, in the middle is D for Dophin and in the front is N for Night Owl.

These are our not so blue blueberries. But they are coming!

And this is my son. These are editted shots and my over critical eye sees so many things wrong with them that I'm having hard time posting them.

Look for lots more in the next two weeks - the husband is away at camp!

Oh man, Rach... I still forget to check my ISO sometimes :0) There are LOTS of things to remember! Looking forward to Tuesday!! Now that you have the critical eye don't look too closely at everything I have taken ;0) You'll see why I say "I AM NOT a pro!"
