Learning about photography

I got Doug a Cannon Rebel XSI for Christmas this year. The camera does so much and I really have no idea how to use it except for the point and click function. I have this great instrument and only know how to play chopsticks on it. I am having fun trying to blindly find my way around the camera...and slowly I'm learning about the settings on the internet. I don't own a good photo editing software...so if anyone has any suggestions I'm all ears. I am thinking about Photoshop...one of my girlfriends has warned me that it is really hard to use. Maybe I'll take a class at our local community college?

Here are a few pictures of my beautiful children. My favorite subject.

hey christine! how did you find an open post office in your area today? two of the post offices I went to today weren't open at all. i mean, people could access their private mail boxes, but the main customer service area was closed in both. I'm sorry...but I have to send yours out on Monday. I'll make sure you get it by next Friday too!

Google, google, google. Practice, practice, practice. Delete, delete, delete. LOL You have 4 mighty fine, adorable subjects to practice on! I use Photoshop (I have an "in" because they use the same software at hubby's work, & that makes it so much easier for me!), but many like Lightroom. :)
