New Pictures and a Camera Guide…

I get asked all the time- “What kind of camera do you use?” Currently I have a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with three lenses- a Canon 85mm f/1.8, a Canon 70-200mm f/4.0L , and a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. My favorite lens is the 85mm, but my most versatile lens is the Tamron. I hope to upgrade it soon. :)

With Christmas coming up, I know there are quite a few of you out there hoping to find an XTi under the tree. And if this is your first SLR, you’ll quickly find that it’s not called a point and shoot for a reason! :) I wrote up a very basic guide to hopefully help you better understand SLR photography and be able to get the most out of your new SLR camera so you don’t have to keep it in Auto mode all the time!

A Quick Guide to Using Your Canon Digital Rebel XTi

And now to the fun stuff. I added two new pics! :) Check them out by clicking below. :)

Thanks for looking! :)

    Take a peek inside my camera bag to see what equipment I use.


    Canon Rebel XTi




    Canon 50mm f/1.8

    *If you only get one lens, skip the kit lens and get this one!



    Canon 85mm f/1.8

    *My favorite lens, great for portraits



    Canon 70-200mm f/4.0L

    *My favorite for action shots, excellent image quality.



    Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8

    *My first lens, a good "general purpose" lens



    Canon 430EX Speedlite Flash

    *External bounce flash, no more harsh shadows!



    SanDisk Extreme III 4 GB CompactFlash Card

    *Always use a top of the line memory card for your camera. I have two of these- they're fast!



    Extra Battery for XTi

    *I couldn't live without an extra battery!



    Understanding Exposure by Bryan Peterson

    *If you want to improve your photography, I highly recommend reading this book from cover to cover. Real life analogies in the book made everything just *click*
