Hi Stephanie, and welcome to 365. I shoot with a Canon Rebel EOS XSi. All I can say is shoot shoot shoot, and figure out what feels right. I started taking pictures with my camera last summer, and during the week of Christmas I finally took out the manual and locked myself away for two days to study it. I went through the whole manual, operating the buttons on the camera as I went. Did I find new things?? Yes. Did it actually help? Not really. I tend to shoot by feel. Everyone is different, but the more pictures you take, the better feel for it you will get.

I purchased the book Canon EOS Rebel XS/1000d last week and highly recommend it if you're new to photography (like me). I am currently learning about aperture, ISO and shutter speed - it's a whole new world for me but I'm confident I'll master them all, given time.
I've also got the 1000d/Rebel XS and am finding it pretty useful.
The most useful things I've found so far is that
This camera does not have spot metering: so if want to correctly expose and image you can switch it into partial metering (which is kinda like a massive spot meter) and zoom in to expose correctly.
Apart from that, slowly moving away from 'Full Auto' to Manual mode is certainly rewarding :D

Great ! Thank you so much for the wonderful feeback! I will look into 'Digital Photography School' website tonight to help improve my photo taking skills.
I have a Rebel.. and honestly the 'auto' settings are pretty darn good, I also like to shoot without the flash in natural light. There's a great book "Understanding Exposure" that I have as well, that will teach ya all about using all your other settings and playing with exposure. Have fun!!
Tweets ahoy!
