My first SLR. (Garden Pictures)

SaltWaterHippo

Like the title says, I got my first SLR today. Done alot of studying before I got it, By the time I read the manual, the weather was pretty bad - dark, cold windy but I thought I'd go out to my garden to take some pictures anyways.





I can see the first one had a fair bit of noise. If anyone could comment on whats good/bad or give any pointers, It'd be much appreciated

Hi there SaltWaterHippo, and welcome to the Dgrin Forum

Now the fun part comes... learning how to use it.

Did you hand hold these? or use a tripod?

These are little too dark, but I must say I do like the sky in your first shot, noise and all

Thanks Skip

I was using a tripod. I got a Canon EOS 40D, Used a EFS 18-55mm lens in those shots with a 0.45x wide angle lens attached to the front. I know the wide angle lens isnt really a good idea but I like wide shots and it's just temporary until my fish eye arrives.
