    Default Just starting with photography

    Always wanted to start, so I finally bit the bullet and went all in. These are, quite literally, some of the first shots I've taken with an actual "prosumer" camera.

    meh. not bad. it would be better if i was standing in the foreground, shirtless, with sweat dripping from my ample bodyhair. That would definitely kick it up a notch.

    Otherwise, they are both good picture.

    Very good, please keep up the hobby and share your pictures with us. I like the rusted school bus picture, but would like to see a closer shot.

    Definitely will. Yeah, I was at work and only had a few minutes to set up and shoot. Will get back around there on my days off to get some better shots, those were very hastily done-all of these were actually hah.

    Nice shots, especially the last one, and good choice on the T2i. I'm still saving up for the 7D (it's going to hurt dropping $2k on a camera!).

    Thank ya' thank ya. I actually just took back the T2i and replaced with the 60D, there were some viewfinder issues that I couldn't resolved and felt like taking a step up for a sturdier built unit...but I imagine I'll just be taking it back for the 7D myself hah.
