KiLO's MINI: 'Ol Yeller
Got a new camera as a graduation present... Canon Digital Rebel (sorry Peter 
)
It was the very wrong-est time of the day to be taking pictures, but I was anxious... Anyway, here they are... any general tips on these?
Thanks!
Miles
After a bath...
Out on my street early in the morning (about 5:30AM)
MINI goes to school (Long Beach State Pyramid)... I wanted to get the grill in there too, but oh well...
Anyway, that's it for now!

It's cool. I've been guilty of them too. I still am occasionally. 
Congrats on the dReb.
That's a big step up from the P&S's and you now get to start using a lot of nice Canon glass. I gather you have the kit lens and that's it right now. If you're on a budget, I'd get the 70-200 F/4 L as a very nice telephoto. IMO, it's one of the lens offerings that Nikon sorely needs to bring to market (the other being a 400mm F/4).
Post up more pics soon.

Nice car! I really like the wheels and the exhaust looks just mean enough.
Not everyone likes pitched shots but I tend to try shot tilting the camera so that an edge of the photo will be parallel to a hard edge in the photo. Its not necesarrily always the subject of my photo, maybe its the curb or a wall or something else linear. A lousy example:
So I'm definately not a professional, and Im not even sure I like either of those pictures above but thats all I have available to convey the points I was trying to make! Just sharing some things I think about when taking pictures.

I also tend to like a lot of negative space when shooting small cars. I think it emphasizes the size of the car more when there is a lot of background. Example:

Kilo,
Nice MC!! Hmm, for some reason I thought you had a CR. The Digital Rebel is capable of a lot! Learn it well, and you'll be doing great photography with it as well!!!
The technology will help you get there, but it's all about the person behind the camera!
