Think you're right, I'm perhaps blaming the equipment rather than the photographer! The EXIF was shutter 1/25 (too long for fast moving) f/5.6 at 70mm. I couldn't win either way, I seem to prefer taking people shots from afar as you get more natural settings but I don't have the right 'snipers' equipment so I'll just have to get closer.
Yep, that's the kind of thing I want!
Yes, you are spot on! Might have to try more manual settings next time.
In this case, a longer exposure or larger aperture (smaller f number) would have let in more light, and the image would be correctly exposed. (Your current lens probably isn't to blame)
That xscape place looks pretty interesting. Snow... Indoors!
Unfortunately the sledges were moving too fast for a slower shutter, my max aperture for that lens is f/3.5 (at 18mm) so next time I'll have to move my feet! I don't see the appeal of paying for an indoor ski slope when I live in a country full of the stuff, but it's within walking distance of my house and the work paid for it so I went. Looking forward to climbing some peaks next month.
Another one of the carousel, this was my favorite until I got home and noticed the lousy background. Noob error.
Shutter 0.8 (handheld but leaning on a post) ISO 100 f/3.5
Don't forget about iso! Doubling that would have helped too! And don't forget your camera when you go climbing...

This is my first post - I just got a Canon Rebel XS for Christmas, and I'm using the kit lens.

ISO - doh! Forgot about that!
My boy hasn't really got to grips with these SLRs either (taken with iPhone apologies for the two pics in one day - tree decorations now finished!)
I rather like the added quality the 'graininess' brings. The only negative for me is book - the combination of being very big, very black and bang centre means it dominates a bit too much. I don't think anything could be done to correct it though. Lovely shot.High ISO bad.
I got up early this morning to go down to the coast for some sunrise shots. Unfortunately the forecast didn't come through but I still got quite a few ones I liked, this one in particular.
D40, 50mm, 0.005s, f/1.8, ISO 200
another one from the top of the rock @ rockefeller center...
and one more... this was the best night shot of the scenery i could get that day... it was really windy and i didn't have a tripod...

These are quite interesting.
For the window picture, I wonder how that would be if HDR technique was used. still really cool though.
