After a week of anticipation, my new Canon XSi arrived on Friday complete with a shiny new wide-angle lens. I expected to be frustrated with the new camera as I learned it, which was the case. So, of the few photos I’ve put up on Flickr, I’m not entirely happy with any.

However, I’ve been fiddling more with it and have been more successful in capturing what I want. The cats, the default subjects for my learning, were rather displeased with the two hour photo shoot that interrupted their eighteen hour sleep schedule yesterday.

I am posting a picture from the National Portrait Gallery – and not the cats – because it still manages to be more interesting than a pissed-off feline.
