Default Finally got the 40D

So it finally arrived and im excited. I dont know much about photography but i wanna be cool like you guys.

Anyways, i bought the camera with a 75-300mm lense, a wideangle lense, the normal lense that comes with it, a macro lense, 3 filters, tripod, carrying case.

heres a pic of what i bought

and also some practice shots with the new camera. sorry if they didnt come out good, im still new.

ebay kit FTL! You would have been better off getting the kit 28-135 lens which is 10x better than the crap they bundle in those ebay kits.
