My New Camera

I splurged and upgraded from the 4MP Canon Digital Elph s400 to the 8MP DSLR Canon Rebel XT. These are some of the first pictures I took with my new camera. Even with the relatively inexpensive lens I bought with the camera I can already tell the difference in quality in low light situations. Unfortunately the learning curve is steep, but I'm working on it. I gave myself a crash course in photography (the internet is great) leaning words like aperture, f/stop, depth of field, shutter speed, and focal length. Now I just have to figure out how to apply them all correctly.
