Welp, an XSi fell into my hands for free and I decided I would start teaching myself to take some photos. My roommate used to shoot a ton of weddings and stuff so he had a bunch of pointers he could give me.
Learned a ton about lenses, f-stops, ISO, and shutter speed on my very first outing. I borrowed my roommates 85mm f1.8, which is closer to a 135 on my camera, and went to town. Already made my first apparent goof and wasn't shooting in RAW.. oh well. First time touching Lightroom as well. I'm looking to pick up a 50mm 1.8 if anyone has one they'd like to let go.
Enjoy
