Welcome! You'll enjoy that new 70-300 lens, particularly for bird shots, if that is what interests you. The pics you posted here are pretty good for the Canon kit lens. Have fun with your new zoom!

Even though the Nikon 18-55mm is considered a "kit" lens, it is darned sharp. I love mine. I love the 2nd shot. Great!

Nancy, if you are asking about where to post your pix here you have several choices. Press the home button at the top of the page. Check out the various forums. Each has a different purpose/goal. ;)

Nice shots, I like #2 the best but that's just my opinion, as far as posting shots, I use Flicker, just started Tumbler and my main site for quality if someone wants to purchase is Fine Art America, Bob.

A couple of weeks ago, I purchased a used version of the lens you're getting, and have been so happy with it.
For best results, shoot in enough light that you can keep the ISO around 200. If you aren't familiar with exposure, a book highly recommended on this site is Bryan Peterson's "Understanding Exposure."
For example, you will want to learn how a fast shutter speed is important when capturing moving birds or animals, and how a high ISO will make your images look grainy (digital noise) and affect overall sharpness. The third element is aperture (f/stop), which controls your depth of field - how much of your image is in focus from nearest element to the furthest.
