I shoot a lot of stuff with a wide open aperture, which makes me constantly want lenses with larger apertures. That, in turn, seems to be what's the most expensive. I had no idea going into it that I'd prefer the expensive glass, but that's definitely how it's turned out.

My fiddy is great, but I'd like to have a good zoom lens at some point. Something that can go fairly wide (which is weird with the crop factor of the Rebel and lower-end Canon SLRs) would be nice. If I had that and something long for shooting halfway decent shots at football and basketball games, I could be content for a while. For now, I think I can borrow long lenses from my fine friends in LU Photography, so for now my sights are set on a new zoomer.

I do scenic and field portraits on the side.

Those are seriously good. How'd you do the ghosting on "Mourning a friend"?

[El Scorcho]

Good question. Is it just a long exposure?

i need to get my sister something. i have no idea what, probably an old navy gc. thats the easy way out.

i'd love to get an SLR, but i don't know much about photography. all i know is that point and click is terrible quality, and i'd like to take better pics. i can't afford the $800 price tag for the good camera, but if they have a new one coming out maybe then i can afford an XTI

Canon still makes the Digital Rebel XT and it's a fine camera. My friends just picked one up on sale for $340 without a lens.
