Thanks Greg!

Carla took the Rebel out for a spin this morning when she went out for breakfast with some relatives. When she got back, I think the direct quote was something along the lines of "Oh my god hon, I think I'm addicted. We need to get more film!"...LOL I told her to post some shots on here but, she's scared to join here though...LOL So, here's a couple of her shots just to show you she had fun with it :)

There goes the budget..lol. Tell her she did quite well and if I can stay here without being bitten she's pretty safe.

That's what I'm afraid of...LOL You should have seen her face when I tld her she would have to learn to develop her own film...ROTFL

Looking good Aaron. Another satisfied customer:thumbsup:

Yep, accept she just learned how quickly a using a flash all the time will kill batteries...LOL

Carla did well for her first spin. (Now You're going to have to share your equipment) :thumbsup:

Do I detect a challenge? Come on Carla, Jump in there and show him how fast you can learn.:cool:

Who knows. The Rebel 2000 might be a good gateway for her. I've tried getting her to try my stuff and she was flat out against learning manual photography. She just wanted to stick with her Canon G2 P&S :rolleyes:

I know. I didn't mean that in a bad way against the camera. The G2 used to be mine. I have lots of good memories hiking with it. The comment was meant more in that she gets frustrated with her pics a lot but, doesn't want to take the time learn. She does seem really pumped with the Rebel though and I had to hold her back from grabbing the negatives until they were dry...LOL Maybe we'll bring her to the dark side yet! :eek:

Maybe...just maybe...she'd want to go ...dare I say it...digital?

Yes, she likes digital. She loves the convenience of her G2. I have no problems with digital at all. There are even occasions that miss it. Ahhhh my ears and tongue are burning from such blasphemy! Shhhhh, don't tell anybody I said that...LOL :eek: She wants a DSLR but, it's just not in the budget right now soooo... I have a fridge drawer full of 35mm film and the Rebel will be a good start :)
