Rebel XSi / 450D Users Unite

I've never posted here before, but I jut got my XSI this week. I've got so much to learn. Anyway, here's a shot of a bee I took using a 50mm F/1.8 lens.

Nice shot and you could have cropped it to make the photo better. Looks overexposed though.

What's the best way to post images? I resized it this time. What should I use in the future?
Thanks!
Oh, BTW, I'm a SAHM of 2 so I'll probably share a lot of kid related shots I have a GSD too so I'll throw in a few shots of him every now and then.

Forgot my pic!

OK, I get the Stay-at-home-mom part, but the only GSD I know is German Sheperd Dog. Unless that's what you call your husband...

Haha. In this case, I meant the dog

It probably is.......I took it without knowing what I was doing. Still don't, for that matter, but I'm determined to learn.

took some shots while we were at the hotel before dinner.
Shutter - 1/12sec.
F Number (Aperture) - F/5.6
Focal Length - 27mm
ISO-100
tv Priority

Put my D60 up on ebay and just got my XSI. Lots to learn! Here's the first photo, my pup Lucy. All auto settings and a little soft, but I plan on improving!

A bit off topic here... but I am looking at purchasing "CANON EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM Standard Zoom Lens" or "CANON EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM Zoom Lens" and seeing u have the IS one, what do u think about it... any comments on the len
[QUOTE=Helena;5794881]​I got mine in April (my first DSLR) and absolutely love it. I take it almost everywhere we go.

You and I are alike Sarch! Determination is key!!

Gorgeous dogs shots. I love dog photos.

Things i like:
High ISO noise reduction
Live view
3" LCD
14bit A/D
12MP - cropping power!


Things I don't like:
high pitched shutter sound
it overexposes (400D underexposed, much better and correctable)
Iso button is awkward, would've been easier if it sloped away like the shutter button, that way it's more natural to slide your finger back.

Here's one more I took tonight.....used a 50mm F/1.8 lens on a tripod; F/11, 1/4 sec., ISO 200.

Ok, after looking at the rest of the photos I won't be able to continue my excuse that it's my camera any more XSI with a 50 1.4. Just a beginner focusing on kid lifestyle portraits, but here are a few:

Great photos everyone! Starbucker, adorable baby photos!

Since I had the 50 1.4 for low light and wanted a little more reach than 70mm the 24-105 was the obvious choice for me, and I have not been disappointed. The lens is a joy to use and even though a prime is sharper (of course) it's sharp enough and very, very versatile. I still wows me.
