Took many shots, most to be deleted ...should have taken my tripod
But, there are a handful I'm happy with. So I thought I'd share a few for C&C.

But, having said that, a colleague in work has a Nikon and although he can afford all the fancy kit ( no mortgage, wife or kids !), his doesn't feel more expensive than my istDL.
I was also unlucky enough to use a Canon "something" this week. I was stopped by a couple outside York Minster and asked to take their picture. The autofocus system is just plain weird!. It flashed some coloured rectangles in the viewfinder, but the image never became sharp in the viewfinder. I thought I wasn't using it right, but when we reviewed the image it was fine.

Get yourself into the "your photos" section.
You don't have to post your own shots until you feel ready, although receiving honest critic on them will help you a lot.
What I found really helpful was looking at others work and deciding what worked for me and what didn't.
Don't be offended when someone doesn't like your work. They will probably offer some constructive comments on what they would do differently. Take these onboard, try them out if possible (for example a different crop is easy to try). Sometimes you will disagree with what the other person says, sometimes it will turn what was an ok shot into a wall-hanger.
above all, enjoy yourself!
Also, have a go at the competitions. I've found that really helped focus my mind on the shot.
And has been sid many times...have fun

The lighting in there was awful and by 3pm it was almost dark!!
I'd have asked for my money back but as they don't charge for entry it wasn't worth while
