My first dSLR pictures

[C.J]

Got my Canon 500D on Saturday, spent the best part of 3 hours reading the manual, then ventured outside for a couple of test pictures.

I'm happy with the outcome of some, but need a lot of tips/hints.

Comments & advice welcomed

(All pictures are hosted on FB at the moment)

Get a 50mm prime and learn to use your feet rather than changing focal lengths. Ace pics tho for your first ones

Nice choice of camera! Sign up to Flickr or something similar, FB hostin sucks!

Nice start with those pics btw!

Thanks for the comments I've been looking at a 50mm recently.

Why would you advise moving around, rather than using the zoom?

Those are pretty good for a first attempt. You wouldn't think it.

That first shot is lovely!
