Hey everyone,
I had wanted an DSLR camera for Aaaages and I finally handed over the cash and bought one last week. I got a Canon EOS 450D with the EFS 17-55mm f/2.8 lens.

I have been taking photos for the last 3 days and here is what I have so far.

All of the images so far are here:

Congrats mate, now is when the fun begins :)
Just get the habit of shooting in raw and do your own processing in the PC.
Do not allow the camera to dictate the adjustments on the image ;)
