Thumbs up Canon REBEL EOS T2i 550D

Finally bought an SLR camera

I chose the Canon REBEL EOS T2i 550D Body - 18mm-55mm Stock Lens
Came with a carry bag and 16GB memory card

I already ordered a wide angle/fisheye lens along with a must have EF 50mm F/1.8 Lens.

I'm really excited to start shooting. I learned quite a bit already just from watching a bunch of You Tube vids.

Here are some first shots.

You really know how to live on the edge, sayin somethin like that..


Jealous! My DSLR (first gen digi rebel) has a broken battery terminal that basically renders the poor thing useless and more expensive to fix than it's worth.. was drooling over this and the T1i.... waaaaaaaant!

Got the EF 50mm F/1.8 Lens today

Snapped a copuple of photos to check it out.
The clarity and focus of this lens is truly amazing. I can see that it will be my favorite.

Also, I included another topless one for Toad!

Here is some recent pictures I took during my brothers wedding at a park we went to.
I was very pleased with these ones.

Nice shots! ♥ HDR. I use it in 3D renderings for better contrast and reflections.

I am thinking about purchasing a digital camera that I can manually focus. I am a noob so, bear with me. I have experience with a Canon REBEL EOS ... so, perhaps the camera you are using will be the one I purchase. I would mostly use it for reference shots and HDR (want to learn).

Here's one after the removal of the front bumper.
This was such a dull picture before. The HDR makes everthing pop.
I find the more detail and or textures there are in the photo, the more interesting the HDR pictures become.
I Love It!!
