Amy & Mark 3 that is amazing....Is there any way I can learn to take a picture like that???

C&C much appreciated:

First Christmas with a DSLR, I like the first picture, I captured myself with my new camera inside the christmas tree decoration; Also like this one as I shot it with my own settings:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE


Also with my own settings:

IMAGE NOT FOUND
HTTP response: 404 | MIME changed to 'image/gif' | Byte size: ZERO | PHOTOBUCKET ERROR IMAGE

:)

Well, regarding the photo of the tree and presents, one key was the 24-105L which allowed me to hand hold at these settings: iso 400, 1/6, f/4, IS on. You can also use a tripod with a lens that doesn't have IS to get a fairly blur free image. Once you get the photo, the key is all in attaining a pleasing color temperature and white balance (etc.) in post processing...using RAW makes this easier for me...I learned how to do this (and am still learning) by trial and error with low light shooting. With practice, it becomes easier. Good luck and happy holidays.

Thanks a lot for the info and settings Mark, i've been shooting in RAW and JPEG, but haven't had a play with the RAW files yet.
