hey bro if your shooting skating you will want a super fast lense try the 50mm 1.8 its only like 120$ and like 90$ brand new on ebay

such a good lense i have the same stuff you have and i have never used the 18-55 since

Great advice I am hoping to pick up some new glass soon, but opted for the flash first. What brand are you using? I barely use my 18-55 either unless Im doing low light with my tripod or macro with the attachment I have. (but thats not to often)

Canon EOS Rebel xti

The 18-55 mm stock lens, which is absolute crap, lousy quality lens.

Now I want someone to recommend the one lens quiver. I used to have this 24-105 mm zoom which suited me just fine, before someone ripped off my camera.

I shoot mostly landscape and buildings.

And I'm a fan of panorama shots that can be stitched together with minimal distortion. I like this guy's photos: colin prior

bahaha I very much like this

I have a very old 4mp canon with 4x optical zoom...that the backup battery fell out of somehow so now it asks for the time and date every time you turn it on...

but I did download a trial of photoshop elements last month

I think I am getting a new camera before I go overseas though...again a point & shoot, but really I'm not going to be setting the world on fire with photography, so I can't really see myself needing anything else...

as far as point and shoots go, however, does anyone have any recommendations as far as value for money/not gonna freeze up in the snow kind of buys?

unlucky bangabain.
whats a point and shoot?

haha exactly like it sounds gpl, you point it at something, click, and the photo is taken - digital camera, auto-focus, auto flash etc...I mean you can muck about with the settings, but not like a massive zoom lens or anything...basically what you have as a camera
