New Toy, Finally got a decent camera :)

Finally got something other than a 3MP point and shoot, lol

A friend upgraded so I took her Canon Rebel XTI off her hands. I'm a total DSLR noob but I have wanted one for a while but never had a good reason to spend the cash. I got this one out of my old HP laptop so it was kinda in a weird way free, so now I can use some cash to get some stuff for it.

Here is some bad pics I've taken so far, only about half sure what things do, had it about 2 hours when I took these, lol. Image

Mini update, no new pics yet, been a rainy day and flatted like 11 pages in the last 20 some hours =/ though I can report that the UPS man might be killing me come Tuesday.

Ordered a few things, nothing super pro quite yet but I guess a nice "Starter Package" of sorts.

Snagged this bag:

This Tripod:

These Macro Filters: (Wanted an actual lens, but you know I'm a flatter =P)
http://www.amazon.com/Sakar-Close-Up-Fi ... 852&sr=1-2

This Shutter Release Remote: (Always wanted one of these just because they looked fun, lol)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002PJESBG

All that for under 70 bucks. It all had good reviews for noob gear so hopefully it will serve me well for a while at least.

Edit:

Tweaked the curves on the rusty one a bit. Brought back a bit more detail that was lost in the shadows and a little more "Rust" color into it.

Lucky for me everything in my broke ass house looks like it is from a horror movie set so I might have a good bit of these in me.

Messing with my Macro lens kit and didn't have much work today, so I crafted a paper friend.

Edit: Figured I would shoot up some of my other Paper Toys I have around my desk.
