Well, I got paid for a class early and decided to treat myself to an early christmas present. The 10% off sale at Sears helped a lot too :).
Got my Rebel yesterday and then didn't even get to touch it until early this morning because I was helping someone move. I've shot a few snaps this morning, but haven't looked yet. I'm getting there LOL.
Any tips and suggestions for a newbie DSLR owner greatly appreciated.
My only suggestion is to use it loads, and you'll soon be really used to it :)
Congrats on the purchase
I was going to go to the zoo today and put it through its paces, but after packing and lugging yesterday, I can barely move. I'll probably head over to post and snap some shots there, and maybe press the local ducks into modelling :-D.
Well, the composition is a little lacking but I am extremely pleased with the quality of the colors and lighting. This was taken at the mall in Fayetteville under flourescent light. This camera ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Use a tripod :)
It makes a huge, huge difference - even more so with an SLR than with a point and shoot.
When I went out to do night shots of xmas lights downtown, I immediately thought of the tripod and took it along. I'm going to go back again when ALL the lights are on so I can get all the sparkles in the trees too :).
Well, my fiance broke the bank, and it turns out I'm now also a member of Team-Rebel. I guess that means I should enter a challenge, eh? ;)
I guess part two of this post is that as of a ~month ago, I'm now engaged :) I asked my girlfriend of two years while we were on our yearly vacation in Ocracoke, NC. Here's a picture. Anyone interested in shooting the wedding? :)
