Tips for a beginning photographer?

Filed under: Activities: Babies, That's Entertainment

This Christmas, my husband Tom's gift to me was a digital camera. I've been a longtime admirer of the photography on blogs such as Confessions of a Pioneer Woman, Dooce, Chookooloonks, and Superhero Journal. And all of these women are generous in sharing their preferences in equipment and techniques.

I've read through the instructions that came with my new camera (a reconditioned Canon Rebel XTi), I've stared at it from a distance for a loooong while, and finally, when I'd decided to make that first step and begin, you know, actually taking pictures with it, I couldn't get it to "go." Turns out I'd left the battery in the charger on the kitchen sink.

So, I'm wondering, do you have any advice for a beginning photographer? Are there any sites you love, or any books you'd recommend? As you can see, I need all the help I can get!
