wow, coming from you, thats QUITE the COMPLIMENT thank you!!! I'll be sure to link Drew to this thread!!! 
yeah i actually broke down and decided to get one back in December. I have been a bit lax in learning it, Drew has actually been using it more. But def a LONG way to go with regard to skills etc. Just to hold the CAMERA still enough for a shot is a challenge at times, besides all the other factors. We only have a basic outfit with regard to the Rebel XT. We are lacking in the necessary equipment (aka a proper flash (right now we are extremely limited in the type of pics we can take), wide lens, macro lens etc.). But we will...someday.
I had actually posted up a set of pics he took with the dSLR during our trip to San Diego awhile ago. Maybe ill relink them sometime and you can give us some pointers. ^__^ |
lol oh i mean thanks for the compliments but i am nothing close to what u wrote about lol.
anyway, dont care about flash, the camera flash is way enough for most situations, i cant remember a moment where i could have said: "i cant get a reasonable picture without my external flash. iso, apperture and longer shutter speed always leave u enough room. to heavy flash just kills the athmosphere in the pics anyway...
and dont trust the typical cheap salesman rule. expensive extra ordinary tools = extra ordinary pics. if u are not able to make decent pics with ur normal equipment, the same or even worse will happen with higher equipment. anyway, thats totally not the case here how i see... so for the begining there is imo really just one advise that makes sense. pick it everywhere u go in your freetime and shoot shoot shoot, u dont have to pay film or developing anything. so shoot the f*ck out of ur slr, cauze it only cost a press of a button. try to develope a kind of view for perspectives and compositions that way... to maybe even get a few pictures that are able to give a message to the observer without any explanation at all. but thats not necessary yet imo...
just get used to the cam as a tool to convert your creativity into frames...
