Learning 600d

Hi All
Was playing Friday night with my new 600d in my backyard, It is not going to set the world on fire but amazing what a camera will see when we can't.

I have a lot to learn I know focus is not good, I have a better lens on the way for the second time after the first one went missing

Feel free to flame away

600d
18mm kit lens @ 3.5
25 seconds @ iso 6400

cheers Graeme.

Nice start Graeme, some nice curtaining happening there.

Re the focusing, use live view and zoom in (as far as live view wil allow) on a bright star or even a light a few K's away, then focus.
