December 24, 200618 yr Author ah we open them the day before because on christmas my whole family goes down to my grandparents to open more gifts with the whole family so we celebrate as our regular family christmas eve then as a full family we celebrate christmas day
January 2, 200718 yr wait wait wait you already opened your gifts its only christmas eve We open our on christmas eve too, its a family tradition because of the same reasons that D@rk0n3 has. D@rk0n3, I'm jealous, I was expecting a Rebel XTi, but instead I got my dad's hand me down Canon T70 (I'd been borrowing it up until the 24th). It still takes some pretty good pictures, they're not digital though :P If you want some help I can give a few pointers but seeing as how you have a digital the best way to learn is to just go out and take like 500 pictures and keep track of what settings you've used on each so you can see what works best in what environment. EDIT: Here's a few shots I took of our marching band when I was doing photography with them, since the camera is really old it doesn't advance the film correctly anymore so now each roll of film is a crap shot to see if the film will come out ok. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v437/Tomtheman70/Copyof18.jpg The three drum majors and two color guard captains. http://img405.imageshack.us/img405/1826/copyof1dt7.jpg Girlfriend in uniform
January 2, 200718 yr Yeah are you talking about the Canon 350 EOS XT? Is that what you mean? If so I have that Camera, amazingly versitile camera. I can only find 2 pics handy, 1st is one of my dogs (1/200 sec shutter) and second is my Amp and guitar (0.6 sec shutter) http://m1.freeshare.us/126fs4291268.jpg http://m1.freeshare.us/126fs4291120.jpg Also, you should take your pictures in RAW format, something i am going to start doing, most professional photographers recommend it, means that basically nothing is compressed. So when you take it into Photoshop or whatever you have so much room to work with, altho, you need a small application to convert the RAW format into a useable file. Camera's are awesome.
January 2, 200718 yr If any of you guys are looking to sell a used digital SLR body (Canon) let me know, I've been looking to get one to get rid of this T70.
