Been playing around with the nifty fifty (50mm f/1.8) lens, it's a great deal of IQ for the price. Autofocus could be better, though.

Getting pictures of Chip is way easier now because I've got four more stops of light to work with than I'm used to. Higher shutter speeds mean I can catch really random stuff. Like her tongue.

A DSLR is a great thing to save up for. Really lets you break free of the creative barriers that point and shoots set.

What's nice about Chip is that even if the photo is terrible, the cuteness factor can help defeat the photo's suckiness :D

Shanks. It was hilarious how we were driving home from church and it landed on the lightpole and we were all "WHOAAA". I carry the XT and the 80-200 lens in the car every Sunday for things like that.

I really like the shot I got printed because it's 'layered'. You can see faint scribbles in the "background" I guess you can see, and it is pretty funky. That's a good word for it. :P Thanks.
