Got my 30D!!!

So, this is my first DSLR, and I'm finding it a bit overwhelming. It was a nightmare trying to figure out the whole RAW deal, but now that's under control. So far I'm only working with a 28mm f/2.8 and a 50mm f/1.8, with the 1.6x crop factor on my camera.

Enough talk--gotta go practice!

I don't have a signature because I don't like typing long drawn out sentences that people probably don't read anyway.

Anime artists on deviantArt are like illegal immigrants. Except for "stealing jobs", they "steal pageviews"
EDIT: This quote was rather vague so I'll make it simple: Stop bitching about anime artists because a)you don't show your own stuff b)your art suc

When the days all feel the same
Don't feel the cold or wind or rain
Everything will be okay
We will meet again one day
And I will shine on, for everyone

I almost never set out to photograph a landscape, nor do I think of my camera as a means of recording a mountain or an animal unless I absolutely need a 'record shot'. My first thought is always of light. -Galen Rowell
