if anyone has any pointers or just advice in general bout this beaut, please share?

No, just play. Is this your first dslr? If it is, I would just advise to make sure that your ss is up high enough to get sharp pictures, and to step back, because being too close effects your depth of field.
 
Congrats.

Here's a tip. Change "60D tips n tricks?" to "Photography tips n tricks?"
The 60D, like all other cameras, is just a tool...and is no better than the person operating it.
 
thanks big mike! im starting to learn that more and more :)
 
Try using aperture priority, try shooting wide apertures (small F stop eg. f2.8-F4 or the lowest number yours will go, less will be in focus) and then shoot some small apertures ( high numbers F11-F18 don't go too high because it can start to effect sharpness) when you get home and load them on your computer you will be able to see how apertures effect your shots
 
Change default setting to "Warn" that you are shooting without Memory Card.

1. Menu
2. First Tab (Shooting1)
3. Change 'Release shutter without card' to Disable.

Not that this has happened to me before ... :roll:

Pretty general question if we don't know your experience level. Reading the manual is a good place to start though regardless :)
