Went to a wedding this weekend and tried out my new Rebel XT for the first time. Most of the pictures were taken with the 18-55mm kit, however on a few I did borrow my cousin's 100-300mm telescoping lense and got fantastic results (at least, I thought). Any comments and feedback are welcome!

Yeah, I know...I was disappointed to find that when I downloaded them to my computer.

3rd one looks like it may be a low shutter speed.

Actually, so does the first . . . Try keeping the shutter speed up around 1/500 with the 100-300 on, and 1/125 with the 18-55, until you're comfortable with the camera. People often subconsciously "push" the shutter release a little hard while they're getting used to the camera, causing camera shake.
