Hi all! I'm Ann, aka Jedi to most of my friends. New to the DSLR world...just got a Canon Rebel T5i for an early Christmas gift and I'm diving right in.

My experience has been point n Shoot for most of my life. Kodak was my go to...until it died this year. Most of my photos are of family...kids, vacations...normal mom stuff. Looking forward to learning a new way to pursue my favorite hobby!

Super! Great timing ahead of the holidays. I would suggest you practice some of the situations ahead of time. Especially low-light shots such as present opening on Christmas morning. There are tons of YouTube vids to help you get started. Learn about using higher ISOs and lower f stops for natural light scenes indoors. Most of all, experiment and have fun.

Welcome and enjoy.
We can help more when we also know what lenses, photo processing software etc.
When you post photos to ask for help or suggestion we need to see the exif/camera data. So you will need to check "store original"

Welcome and have fun learning a new system. Practice makes perfect. Moving to a DSLR can be frustrating at times. One of the best resources I ever read is Bryan Peterson’s Understanding Exposure. For me it took what appeared to be very complex and turned it into something easier to understand. Good lich with the new camera. Happy shooting.
