Best digital photo technique sites

[neuroking]

Hi guys and gals,

I was hoping I could get some suggestions on good sites for DSLR photo techniques. I just procured a Canon Digital Rebel XT with 17-85mm IS and 70-300mm IS lenses and want to get started in photography. The canon site below seems pretty good, but I always like to get multiple sources.

Anyhow, any help is greatly appreciated!

(the site I'm using now, which is kinda fluffy:
http://www.photoworkshop.com/canon)

I'm also 6 block from RISD, and have thought about taking a class there, but I want to get the basics down first.

contact me, I can give suggestions... On yahoo, I can show some picks..
Do you know the basics??

Just the very basics. Post what you got up here so other can benefit, too!

speed an apiture are the most important.

with a SLOW speed, almost Closed apiture, on a bright day, and about 1/30 esposure,
You get a depth of field effect.
The lower the light the more you open the apiture, rather then ADD speed..
Use speed, for (as it says) moving items... 400-800 is MAX, unless you are in the dark..

Hi neuroking

I used to have the XT.

How are you getting on with it or have you upgraded yet.
