Have you checked the settings in your user menu?
The "review" or "preview" setting might be set to off.

If the 350D is like the 20D you need to press a button to display images. The display does not give a live view.

thank you Phil.

yeh it fooled me at first, after I was used to the standard "digicam" approach where you don't look through the viewfinder, you look at the LCD screen to compose your shot.

But being a true SLR, there's no live display with the 350D.

thanks Mike, my work cameras show live on the monitor as well.

Also Mick after taking a bulb shot the camera will take some time to process the shot before you can take the next shot, it will say busy and on the LCD panel then show you the shot when finished.
Just thought i'd mention that so you dont think the camera has seized like i thought when i first used mine in the dark.

thank you Daniel, starting to get the hang of it slowly.
