I was out toying around with my new camera today. I got the camera last week, and ordered a new Tamron lens that I got today.

I took this pic of our boxer, Kona:

I am pretty new to photography and really couldn’t tell you how I took this, aside from monochrome, but it looked pretty cool.

The Rebel XS is pretty awesome.

I took this one too:

Thanks!

I can already see this becoming another expensive hobby! Although when you buy the lenses, it is a one time purchase and there are few recurring costs with photography.

After looking at other people’s work on the net, I can see a definite interest in Macro photography, which means buying another lens!

I wouldn’t mind taking a photography class sometime.

I took my new camera and lens to the Zoo on Sunday.
