So after browsing around this forum for a couple days I decided to join it. Found a lot of useful info here and am inspired by a lot of your guys' work! I have always loved photography just haven't had the money to get into it... I finally just purchased a canon rebel xti..... I'm in love, but I'm currently reading my butt off b/c I didn't know how to do anything with it.
These are pictures I took with my canon powershot and edited in photoshop. Looking back I don't like them, they are too bright..what do you think? I'm thinking lay off diffuse glow It was a phase.

OKay so here are the most recent pics edited after taking them with the new Canon Rebel I got Keep in mind I had no idea what I was doing. I have a better idea of what the settings are used for now after skimming through a few books. I'm really excited to try again! Any tips? **most of the pics are my son - go figure**

{phew I promise never to post that many pictures at once again!}
I'm wanting to get into portrait photograpy once I get a handle on things. i feel confident since I can get around in photoshop, but i need to know if my stuff looks good, because I have seen some ppl try to use photoshop and it looks aweful. HOnest opinions!! I don't think I want to do full time photography because I am going to school for graphic design (web and print) So i guess I"d just like to eventually do a little of everything.
