Girlfriend + Camera = playing with fire!

review photos Flickr EOS 400D cool

After my girlfriend started showing an interest in photography I decided to buy her a new camera as a surprise. I chose the Canon EOS 400D and she has had it for almost 3 weeks now and already she has come up with some STUNNING photo's.

Her first shots with it were wildlife and nature based…

I have taken a few photo's with it too...

Finally, last night she was playing about with the camera and took these lovely warm photo's on a candle and a burning match.

Flickr has the full sized images from the camera - I'm amazed at the quality! Most of the early photo's were taken in auto mode, but the dark candle/match ones were taken using some manual overrides on the exposure, aperture and ISO settings.
