ROFL! I can hear it now! "Me Ow! Me Ow! I'll Be Back!" :D

Ok, thank you. I appreciate it. It may not be professional level results, but if they are great pictures, they will be well worth it! :)

Worth it for sure. You'll get a nice zoom to 55mm and nice wide shots @ 18mm. Nothin wrong with that one bit!

Me too! I watched a lot of videos trying to learn but I'd say shooting is the best tutorials you can give yourself.

Cool! Yeah, practice makes perfect, but I would like to make sure that I know about lining up shots, exposure, aparature, etc.... before trying to take pictures. I want to make sure that I am doing the right thing instead of wondering "why do these pictures look so terrible all of the time?" lol

I usually set my camera to Av/Tv mode, that way you only really have to worry about one or the other plus the ISO, but just remember higher ISO = more sensitive to light, but more grain.. it wont be perfect all the time, but it works.. manual focus is a pain if you dont get it spot on but.. auto focus exists for a reason!

What is different about AV/TV mode? Also, why do others recommend doing as much as possible manually then? I am confused. :s

Av = Aperture priority mode, you set the aperture that you want, and the camera will set the shutter speed for you. It's more of a convenience instead of having to figure it out and being either over exposed or under exposed. Sometimes it wont get it right, and you can adjust the exposure compensation to help.

Tv = Shutter priority. Same thing but in reverse.

Manual is going to be best of course, I try to use manual when I can, it's fun to figure out the values in certain lighting conditions. When I want to focus on something but not have it in the center of my shot, I use Auto-focus to get the focus of my object, then I turn off Auto-Focus and re-compose the shot the way I want it.

Oh ok. That makes sense! Thank you!

Great shots I personally have the T1i myself going on year #2 I so love that camera, just keep shooting it's not the camera that makes it photograph it's the person behind it...

Thank you! I will definitely be taking some time studying the basics and then practicing. :)

Oh one question. The t1 is the eos 500d right?

that is correct, I got it for Xmas just when the T2i came out. Only update to it has been a EF-S lens 18mm-200mm F/3.4-5.6, kinda a min range lens for the cost and my learning curve, I couldn't go wrong

Thank you both for the tips. I appreciate it a lot. I will have to live with the existing flash for now if I need to use one though (until I can afford another one)

I've not had the need to use the pop-up flash yet. Although there might come a time.

This is true!

Well you just seem to get more lively colors when you don't use flash.

I just find it to be rather harsh for most situations, I'm sure a proper speedlite + softbox would be fantastic, if it was in the budget lol

Thank you! I will be adding lenses, flashes, etc.... down the road for sure. :) I will get there. No problem at all. I just need to start with the basics is all. :)

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
    • I asking where you are from or live, because if you don't live in the U.K, why are you so bothered? That is another reason I voted out, E.U and people poking their noses in where they should not be. Sadly we still have it, Trump, and his cronies. Putin as well and no doubt others. It makes no difference what we believe, if we made the right choice or not, we are out. As I said to someone when the news first broke we have voted out, we just need to make the best of it. I have no problems with closer ties to the E.U, we still need to trade. Just don't want to be in their club.
    • So you think I voted out because i am anti-immigrant. I am fed up with those that come over and think that we owe them something. The ones that are at the moment coming over from France where they are already in a safe country because they think and no doubt will get everything chucked at them. While people who were born and bred here get very little. I have nothing against as i have said before those that come here and work. In fact I know full well that our NHS would struggle without them. I do have a problem with those that come over here and try to push their religion and their way of life onto us. My reasons for voting out was because of what the E.U is and is also becoming. I did not agree with Freedom of movement, not because I don't want people over here, but because people need to be checked before being allowed to cross borders and that goes both ways. But my main thing was because the E.U is becoming if not already a united states of Europe. The only reason countries like Poland and Romania joined was because they had no money. When my partner left Poland, she had nothing, Poland had nothing, that is why she left. Wanted to learn something and earn a living. The E.U would have us back according to Michel Barnier. https://www.euronews.com/my-eu...ator-barnier-tells-euronews Why are you so scared to say what country you are in?
