neighborhood walk

Had my camera on sepia setting from before, but it turned out really well with the water tower!

Zoo was really good practice for correct exposure - animals were in all sorts of lighting conditions inside and out... started using AEB at the end but didn't quite do it right so that didn't help. Also was shooting in Tv (shutter speed priority) most of the time, but forgot to factor in 1.6x crop factor to focal length, so some of the pictures are a little blurry when viewed full-size because i was too lazy to use a tripod and messed up my calculations a bit. All-in-all i got some good pictures though. Animals are awesome. ^^ Don't forget to thank Jehovah for the animals! :)

first post!

Chao anh chi!,
getting my new camera on friday!!! yay ^^
Canon Rebel XSI w/ 18-55mm IS lens & 75-300mm (non-IS, not the best, but better than nothing!)
just in time for the zoo on tuesday if it doesn't rain!
i'll see what i can do with it, as i've had no prior experience with SLRs... and try to post the few pictures that turn out well later.
fyi, i don't think i'll be able to post very often, so don't expect too much! :\
comment! :)
thanks!

this is what it looks like!
