Thanks, Eddy, for liking my pictures and for your encouragement. I'm still way off from taking any professional photos. Knowing what those numbers mean will help you select better lenses though, which in turn will help you take better pictures.
For example: I didn't know that lenses come in 2 varieties: regular and IS (Image Stabilizers.) And boy, are IS lenses expensive, yet necessary!
By the way, anybody know why ducks turn their heads sideways? (See picture #6)

In that case, for your information, there's a really good deal on memory cards at Dell right now. Take a look:

I'll likely get the 2GB SanDisk Ultra II.
Anyway, AWESOME that you got the same camera! We could learn something from each other for sure! In fact, do you know how to take Silhouette pictures of a moving subject (it should appear completely black) where the colors of a sunset are vibrant and there's no blur? What settings would I use?
I know it has something to do with "Exposure."
Here are some examples:

OH thanks for the link, I think i'm gonna get the 1gb one, I already have a 2.2 gb but one more won't hurt for my canon s110 (in some situations, i rather use this than the rebel)
I'm not sure how exactly, do you mean something like this http://www.seascarsdale.com/CP/set.jpg
Usually I think the angles are the most vital when it comes to sunset photos.
have u seen the rebel tuturials from

Yup, pretty much like that, but with that picture, you can still see the road... I'd like to have the foreground be completely black so that the sunset is more noticably vibrant.
Angles definitely are always important, but so are the settings
Thanks for the link -- it looks really interesting!
Thanks again!

The black goldfish died and we bought an another (who died 2 weeks later)... and then the orange one died too... we bought another one (orange), now there are only two fishes left (the white one with a red head and the new orange one)...
I was in shock when the first one died (more than my little nephews lolol) !!!
