Here's a couple. The beach shot is one my wife took of a sunrise at Holden Beach, NC with a 35mm; the other I took with a Nikon CoolPix digital on the Blue Ridge Parkway outside of Lynchburg, Va.

So, after much debate, I did end up with a Canon Rebel XT. I got a good deal on it locally, and after handling both the Nikon and the Canon, I felt like the Canon had a bit more going for it for roughly the same price. I've had the camera for a week or so, and I'm still working my way through learning it. I had time to go out this afternoon and take it for a walk and play with it in manual mode.

None of these are too interesting, but one of these days I'll get a chance to figure out this camera and I'm also on the lookout for a few lenses (first stop, macro).

All of the ones I posted are taken without flash and without a tripod. The problem with most point and shoot digitals is that once you get into a situation where the lighting is not ideal for the camera, you get that nasty flash. I spent about 95% of my time with my Olympus with the flash defeated.

If you're shooting without flash, your camera is keeping the lense open longer, so you'll have to get used to holding very still as long as possible. I got used to shooting a subject 10 or more times to get one that was clean. I also got used to learning how to 'brace my hands, arms, or body against something to be as steady as possible.

These days I have a tripod I bring with me for stuff...definitely makes things much easier, even when I'm using it more as a mono-pod.

Agreed.

Sometimes the camera will throw the flash in there even when its not needed so what I do if its not too dark is I take a picture with the flash on but my finger over the flash.

A better idea is to learn to manipulate your camera's settings so you can adjust the exposure time and other factors to taste. I had good control over that with my last camera but Im still learning my new one.

OK, so I finally got around to pulling a few of my CDs out with a few shots. I've got a ton of better stuff shot on film that I haven't had the need to scan in yet, but maybe getting them into this thread will give me some incentive.

These were all shot with the Nikon D-70 and a variety of lenses. Most involve flash-fill of varying degrees and the subjects are mostly models (the ones that aren't are buildings, clouds, and animals...) If anyone's familiar with Western Mass, most of these were taken on the UMASS Amherst Campus. There's even one in there for the ladies:D .
