Ok, so I said I would post some pics after I got a chance to use my new lens and here they are. I have never posted pics anywhere, ever, this is my first time. I'm totally a beginner at photography, so please be gentle with the feedback.
Here is the scoop on the pics. I used my Reb XT, shot at "sunny" AWB, 4000 (or 3500 can't remember) Shutter speed, sorry can't remember the f-stop (4.0?), ISO 400. I haven't done any alterations to the pics at all. A few were cropped, that's it. I shot 140 pics, liked 25 of them and chose 6 to post (my favs). I had no real "goal" with the pics, other than to just get out and use this lens!:D

If you will be doing more shots of jumpers you'll have to post some more when you get more used to your lens. I got a lot of practice doing a photo fundraiser for a swim team this summer and when I look back I can see how much I improved over the course of a couple of months (shooting mainly just every Saturday).
I just bought a canon 70-200 2.8 (no IS) after swim season ended and can't wait to try it in fall swim.
Great job!
Hi Katie,
I handheld all shots. I figured with the IS and the fast shutter-speed I was using I could leave the 'pod at home.
I have been getting to know my Rebel since last May when I first got it and have saved all of my shots on my computer. I look back at those beginning shots and I can see how much I have improved to my shots that I have taken this summer. I also look at my pics and wonder where/how I can improve them.
I plan to "shoot" as many of the horse-shows in the area as possible. I used to show arabians in western classes, so I find "shooting" horses a way of still being connected to the horsey life, just in a different way. I do plan to post more pics though! Thanks for the positive feedback
Thanks!
