New 300d! First photos

[hipshot]

So I just got my rebel kit a few days ago (which is totally awsome!!) and decided to get the sigma 70-300 APO, mostly cuz the $$. I was learning/showing off the camera and lenses at my girlfriends when the neighbors car mysteriously caught fire. I was actually in the middle of saying "yeah, I haven't had a chance to shoot much yet" when it all happened. I shot with a wide range of settings and most were blurred, but it was a cool photo op :)

How come the tire.jpg looks like it's been stretched?

hmm, it does look a little stretched..but its just been lightened and cropped. it looks like the closest fireman might be throwing things off cuz they appear to be all lined up next to each other.
