New to site and photography

[Pants]

I started getting an interest in photography when I got my first digital camera in 2002. It was a Sony CD MVC-250.

Since then I've had a couple of other P&S cameras and am finally moving up to a Rebel XS. I've been eagerly waiting for it to come in the mail and can't get enough of these forums.

For my first post I've attached a few of the shots that I'm proud of with my original Sony. Whadaya think?

Welcome, very nice shots, love them all but if picking I like the second the most. Keep 'em coming.

I am in a similar situation to you myself. I just moved up to a Canon XTi from an A590 (awesome little gem) and am getting the hang of the options and creativity that the DSLR offers over the P&S. Your sunsets are awesome and the little critter is sharp too. I can't wait to see what you can do with the new Canon.

Welcome to DPS!!
LOVE ALL of those shot's. The shadows on the first one are really cool.
Very nice clouds and colors on the last 2. The water tower in the 2nd one and the mountains in the 3rd one really compliment the pictures.

The colors in the middle image are absolutely spectacular. Very nice. Glad you joined DPS.

Thanks for the comments. I've been looking through my old photos and am starting to realize that I've got a lot to learn. A whole lot. I think I've come to the right place, though.

I was out in Yuma, AZ for the first 2 pics. I remember chasing that lizard around the desert with the camera pointing at his rear until I finally cornered him. Basically, the final product was all luck. I guess every picture has a thousand words.

Here's another that I took while I was in Iraq the first time.
