Jeff Burns

The camera looks nice. Have fun and make great pictures.

Way to go…follow your passion, and you will do nothing but succeed! Good luck with your classes and new camera, it looks awesome!

congrats Jeff .. wow what were you using before since all your photos are so beautiful ?! and that is a killer lens .. I want one !

Way to go Jeff. Same as mine (well mines the 400d but same difference). Like the lens too. I must invest in a longer lens than the 55-200 i’ve got.

Anyway congrats on your new toy and happy shooting. Hope to see some new stuff soon.

Paul

Very nice Jeff – A DSLR around this range will be my next camera.

I have a very very similar lens too. You’re gonna have some good fun with that!

Thank you Kelly, Vonnie, Kari, Lucinda and Paul.
I am very excited to start some new shooting. I have a lot of new things to learn.

Lucinda: I was using the Canon Powershot S3 IS. Still plan on using it as well.

yOU HAVE DONE ALLYOUR WONDERFUL WORKS WITHOUT A SLR!!! Amazing

Jeff, my god sto think you have produced some great work without an slr well done. Good luck with the course, I wish i had the time to take a course like that just to help me understand more of what im doing.

Congrats, Jeff. That should be a great combo for you. We will expect big things!

That’s awesome, i am so jealous! I can’t wait to get a real camera too! You’ll have to report back on how beautifully it works so i can decide between a Nikon and Canon…now back to my wittle 5mp point-and-shoot :(
Have a wonderful time!

Congrats, I’m also jealous!! I want one! :)

Thank you very much Catalin, Lois, Rany, Leia and Nellie. Appreciate the comments!!

Nice Jeff! Thats the same setup I want but I just blew all my money on a new computer!

Excellent Jeff, I know exactly how much fun you’ll have with a shiney new DSLR! Enjoy the classes/club and that telephoto lens!

Thanks Damian and SnowDog.
That is step two for me. Need a new computer.

I am loving this lens so far!!

I feel your joy as if it were my own Jeff…

YOU ROCK SO HARD BUDDY!!! I just cant wait until you find your groove with your new camera and start kicking arse with even MORE fabulous shots!!! The sky is the limit now Jeff…..

Wow Jeff, you are going to go ahead in leaps and bounds now!!! I reckon keep your other canon for infrared, and take the two of them when you go out! Looking forward to your new work!

My sister has one of these and they rock!!! Let us know which photos are taken with your DSLR!

Thank you very much Rhana and Mel.

Mel: That is exactly what I plan on doing. Plus I may just leave the S3 in my car at all times. You never know when I might need it.

Hi Derid,

I am sure most every picture I post now will be with the DSLR. Unless its infrared.
I will make sure to put in the Title 400D for the new Camera

Congrats Jeff!!!

Congratulations jeff! You will love this camera, i can say that because i have the exact same one! You are going to have a ton of fun with it, cant wait to see new work!

Thank you very much Stacy and Chloe.

300mm to boot sweet

Congrats Jeff, nice camera, I have the Canon 300D & 400D, and today just tried out the 40D its rather nice 6 frames a second speed.
Hey if you got money to spend, I would like the Canon 5D Haha. Worth a try aye!

Way to go I’m happy for you!
Congrats To You!

Congrats Jeff you have done well, you wont ever step down from an SLR they are excellent a lot of learning ahead for you but you will master it well. Looking forward to seeing some awesome shots in the near future.

that’s fantastic…..congrats, Jeff!

Wooooohooooooo!!! Ya lucky bugger ;) Good onya Jeff …. happy learning and experimenting :):)

nice JEFF,now im expecting more beautiful shots from you!

Congratulation Jeff,now I like to see your first Infrared image coming out of that new 400d, good luck.

Learning curve,here I come.Great stuff Jeff.Your pic’s are awesome and now , watch out.lol..Cheers

Nice Camara, Im so jealous :P

Gratz on a great setup.

Gratz Jeff I know you will love it.

Best of luck Jeff! I hope you enjoy it! I’m very envious! :-D

LOOK OUT!! It’s a never ending chase now to upgrade and accessorise!!!! Trust me, I know! ;P

Congratulations Jeff .. it’s a learning curve … I went from an S1 to a 10D … and now the fun “accessorising” begins ..

ps – you can never have “too many” lenses!

Best of luck Jeff, now you’ll have to invest in a bigger hard drive!!!

Jeff, I have this kit the camera and the sigma tele there both excellent, I look forward to seeing your images with them.
Rich.

Congrats Jeff! A wise choice. Look forward to see your new shots.

Congrats Jeff.I remember the first time I got an SLR and thought wow this is good.Then the digi age started happening and I had a Canon point and shoot and thought wow this is cool and then the day came and I brought a digi slr and I thought it was the best.I was on top of the world.(so I thought)
Its a whole new world for you now Jeff.Keep the dial off auto and learn to shoot without it .The results will be so much better.
I am sooooo looking forward to the results from the new cam.Your images to date have been awesome Jeff.Can they get any better?Time will tell.

well done, don’t bother with auto mode much more fun to be had using all the other modes, looks like a good’un

Good luck my friend, it is a very good camera. Always keep it in a bag and use a neutral UV filter to protect your lenses. Dust and condensate are the worst enemies of a DSLR!
Have fun and many, many more beautiful works!!!!

WOW Thank you everyone for the support and comments. I really appreciate it my Friends

i am so excited for you Jeff – it’s funny how you just fall in love all over again – i had the 300d which i love (have different one now) and have to say my favourite lens was the 50mm prime lens (great for portraits) – has a wide aperture – f1.8 i think and as lenses go it was cheap – it cost me £50 from Amazon and probably even cheaper in US – anyway, getting carried away – you just spend a fortune on a new camera – but you never know what Santa might bring LOL – Have loads of fun. Debxx

Thank you very much Deborah. I appreciate it. I may just look into that lens.
I would love to be able to take portrait shots like you do.

Jeff, I have the exact same camera (400D) and Sigma lens!!! Great Minds…Great Minds…

Jeff I use the Sigma Lens you just bought trust me you will Love it :)

Thank you Chistina and Michael.
That is so cool we have the same set up Michael!!

Can’t wait to see your shots now Jeff – You’re about to go supernova I feel!

:-) I sure hope so. Thanks Stuart

Freedom and creativity unleashed! Enjoy the endless opportunities with your new camera :-D

Thank you very Much Kim!!

man, I am very jealous. Trying to decide which one to get myself.

Wow, Congrats on the upgrade and I also must tell you …. How bizarre… I as well used to use the canon powershot (which I still adore btw) then upgraded to the same eos rebel and exact same telephoto/macro lens. Small world??? I hope you enjoy your class and field trips etc.

Great camera choice. My wife and I have one each, bought early in 2007.

HINT:
Purchase UV-Filters for all your lens’s. Thus, if you drop them, the filter breaks rather than the glass within the lens.

congrats Jeff!!
