-=Rebel XS / 1000D users, lets join forces!

I've been a foul scientist for thirty years. I can assure you that we are certainly looking upon a dead chicken.

I know foul when I see them.

IDK, could be some crystalized dead chicken, that got coated with iron and rusted over time.

Maybe a robotic chicken that traveled through time from a more advanced human civilization in order to study us....but failed to get back? Im almost sure of this!

You guys are cracking me up

If that's a dead chicken.....maybe it's not a train

This post is FOWL.

Anyways, I live in a very rural area and just about anywhere I look there always seems to be telephone wires in the way of very good shots.

Not to beat up on the train pic but if I look down most streets there aren't but a few "straight" telephone poles.

I give in, I have to accept the word of foul authority expertise.

I don't see any hint of purple in the sky of those photos, my monitor is calibrated with a spyder 3 elite. I didn't change any of the colour balance in those photos, other than daylight wb preset and curves adjustment to darken the tones, oh and I used landscape mode. Perhaps your huey has given you a bad calibration?

Just got round to re-calibrating, the purple seems to have gone, just a deep blue across the top. I really need a nice monitor:o

I have not posted anything in a while. I have been working a lot and trying to shoot when I can. Here are some fairly recent shots I got around to processing.

A few spring blooms here in NH. XS + 50mm 1.8 :

I just got my Rebel two weeks ago. I am green in the photography world so the pictures might not look that great. Been reading this site for a couple of months now. Lots of great informantion here. What do you think of the pictures?

Truth be told, they are a bit too wet for me.

Ok I am new to the game of Canon Rebel XS. Just got one last night took it out of the box and charged battery etc. ok it has an option on it "shoot w/o card" and that option is turned on. I tried to take a pic and it says it took BUT i can not view anything. What am I doing wrong? I did not buy a memory card yet but do I have to have a memory card before i can do anything with this camera?????? like i said i and new tot he game please help

I don't think the xs has internal memory for storing photos so you really need a memory card. I never use the shoot w/o card option, i'm not even sure what it's used for.
