Very nice photos!

Drug out the camera again for Labor day. The sheer number of flags put up in my town makes for some great backdrops

She's a rescue "mutt", but a pretty one.

First shots posted in this section. Went out and picked up a XSi a few weeks ago since I wanted something to put some shutter clicks on without racking them up on my 60D. I plan on getting into timelapse and wanted something that was compatible with all my 60D extras cards, remote timer etc. and this fit the bill since I didn't want to spend a ton (around $200) I found this for $200 plus the grip and 3 batteries. Also, everyone gets crazy about the best body, lens ect., so since I have a "upgraded camera" (60D) and a few L series lenses I also wanted to try and prove to myself I don't always need the best to get good results. So while everyone is so concerned about upgrading, I decided to downgrade and see what I came up with. These were shot with the XSi and my cheapest lens I had.

It's not an option in the camera. You have to connect the camera to a computer and run EOS Utility.

Any suggestions, tips, warnings?

Today a friend of mine gave me an Epson Stylus Photo R1900. It is brand new (at least as far as usage). He bought it new about 2 years ago. He printed 2 images on it, thought it was too complicated (he was going to give it to his son, and finally bought the boy another model). The problem is that it has not been used for over 2 years, the original inks are still in place. I am hoping that if I clean the print heads I can at least try it out. I hate to buy 8 cartridges to give it a test.
Does anyone have any experience in doing somethink like this?
Thanks for any help...Joe
