Let's keep this thread going.

Well, let's switch from German scenery to German vehicles....

These were taken at BMW World in Munich.

This is a BMW concept car that was (IMHO) just beautiful.

This is why I'm excited about getting a proper camera. I think I've gone as far as I can go with my iPhone5:

The golden gate pic is from years ago on a crappy camera. Still like it though.

Nice I like the bridge one a lot. The barn photo is cool just needs to be straightened.

The barn photo looks as if it were a painting because of the color saturation?

Are you asking me or is that a statement? Lol. I don't think it really looks like a painting. Does appear to have the saturation increased though. I was commenting on how it has a dutch angle.

Churchill, Manitoba - visiting the polar bears....

Very flat light with overcast skies - but the bears were beautiful.



Baby bear walking underneath me



Where was I when I took that photo - on a Tundra Buggy



This little guy was estimated by our guide to be about 10' tall and 1200 pounds




I call this one "Eskimo Kisses"



Baby bear went to sit down next to where momma bear was laying down and - oooppppssss....

Another trip to Alberta - the Calgary Stampede - and our stay at a working cattle ranch south of Calgary.

The Stampede shots taken with the D90 and my old 75-300mm Nikkor lens using a monopod from the grandstand.





Holy snot, Batman...





And at the 6,000 acre cattle ranch west of Claresholm, Alberta.





Bill the ranch owner out with his horses...

Another of my passions is racing. My wife and I run a kids club at our local speedway - doing that garners me full access to anywhere on the track - so I don't have to shoot from the stands...









The flagstand can provide a unique angle too (and yes, this race was started 3 wide, 11 rows deep)...



Not that you can't get a decent photo from the stands (shooting over the catch fence at Martinsville).

We ended up going with the T5i. It showed up today. Hory Chet it came with tons of goodies in the bundle.

18-55 lens
75-300 lens
Zoom lens attachment
Wide angle attachment
Bunch of other stuff: extra battery, memory card, filters, tripod, etc

This being my first proper camera, it's a lot to take in. I like to digest info in small chunks when I'm overwhelmed with functions/features. So I'm gonna pour over the manual tonight while the battery charges, and take this thing out for a spin tomorrow.

Be prepared to bombarded with n00b questions.

I'm so lost. Where's a good starting point? Should I just be using mostly the Auto function until I can wrap my mind around all the options? It took me a while just to figure out how to NOT use the flash.
