today was the day I borrowed my coworkers XT
the first day I ever shot a dSLR
I've been using a p&s S500 for almost 2 years now.
I have a lot to learn! Most of the pics came out very bad.
Took about 300 shots.
Well, this was one of my first macro shots (60mm f2.8 EF)
Even with this 60mm lens, and thinking I had a subject in perfect focus
When I viewed the pictures they were completely out of focus
That was frustrating.
My coworker says its mostly hand shaking.
I guess so.
It was hellla fun though.
Also tested out a 30D today with grip. What fun!

At first it is very hard to get perfect focus with that small viewfinder. With a little practice you get the hand of it very easily.

I'm having a terrible time getting infocus macros without using a tripod. If that was hand held you did a great job.
