First attempt with my new camera.

Just recently picked up a new Canon Rebel XS DSLR. Only using the standard Canon EF-S 18-55mm lens. Still very new to the whole photography thing, but I am not using “Full Auto” mode. I’ve been using “P” mode and it seems to be working alright for me, although I don’t really know the difference other than I’ve been adjusting the white balance myself accordingly and the ISO. Also, I’m also not too familiar with editing, but did some minor editing on a couple of these pictures.

Looks good to me.

Did you get the camera used or new?

Oh, and Canon FTW!

I’m no photographer but the first pic the light on the house kind of draws your eye away from the object being shot. And the first pic of your car has too much going on in the background. Other than that they look good!

Bought it new off Ebay.

Yeah, now that I look at it the 1st picture the light is very bright on the house. I’m sure that’s something that can be taken care of with adjusting the exposure, maybe?

+1.

Nice shots.
i have the same kit lens. it does the job okay but i got tired of it real fast as i cant really zoom in much

Not bad for being a retard

hey wheres my 2 pix??? just pm em to me or post em in my build thread… thanks again for takin those joey

I just got my camera last week with this lens and i’m already bored of it… so I know what you mean. :lol

Thanks, and yeah the lens is pretty basic considering I’ve used Nick’s(AMD IS THE BEST) xxmm-200mm zoom lens and his other baller lens’. But I’m just gonna work with what I have, not really into dumping a few hundred on another lens. Maybe down the road.

Hey, I do what I can :lol

I got 'em. I’ll post them in your thread tomorrow AM.

my cuz has a fuckin nasty lens on his cannon, goes from like 55mm to nearly 400 or something

baller shit

everyone is getting these cameras, i’de get one but i aint a baller :smiley:

Same, thats why I have a Pentax.

Welcome to the wonderful world of photography.

Start reading up online for techniques of shooting and editing.

Just remember, GIGO - Garbage in = garbage out.

Make sure you get the proper shot while you’re on the scene and save yourself hours of editing and headaches later.

But editing can save nearly any shot.

Not bad for the first try! :thumb
