Good camera bodies all the way around. D60 is a great all around camera and takes some pretty awesome shots.. And the Cannon Ti series, one of my favorites, I love my Ti cameras.... Try some filters next time, the first time I started using them I was amazed how much easier it was to edit.. My girl is a huge Nikkon nut and I'm a Cannon fan, ha.

I liked his camera, it had lots of options and you could pick where the focus was without having to have it centered. Pretty cool if you ask me. Haha.
Idk if he has any filters. I think my mom has some filters, it's her camera that I use for these things. I'm thinking of getting into photography though so I might be looking for a camera of my own soon.

Yeah I gotcha. They both really seem to do well, he was having issues with his not picking up the light well enough at times. But mine did the same, I just took enough pictures to have more that turned out well.

Yeah the new T4i has a lot of options.. and is a great medium level camera that is easy to use. I would recommend that to any person wanting to get into the hobby. The 60D is grea too though, I've just been a Canon person for awhile and IMO you can't beat the lens options. I've been doing photography for about 7-8 years or so, so if you have any questions I'll be glad to help..

I haven't talked to Dillon (bigD1515) about it yet but the show in Dawsonville at the Moonshine Festival we might go to. I will at least, my girl wants to go so I'll probably put my car up for display. Lol. But other than that, nothing set really. There is a Mustang Club around your area though I believe actually.

That would actually be awesome. Mine is a T2i but I'm thinking of selling it and getting a T4i. Does the lens filter you were talking about help with more HDR type shots? When you learned your photography did you watch videos and guides or just trial and error just taking pictures yourself?
Different lenses do different things. Mainly for outdoor shots using a UV lens filter (or polarized filter) will really help get rid of that "wash" that you see in some pics from sunlight (where everything kinda has bland colors). It will make the trees colors seem more colorful is the best way to put it, ha. It's the same thing as putting on polarized sun glasses out in the sun, it cuts the glare and lets you see colors better. There are different filters for different situations..
Doing HDR is really just knowing how to use photoshop (or other HDR software). My sig is an example of a poorly done HDR image (it was done in the rain and in about 10 minutes, ha).. You take one underexposed, one normal, and one over exposed and blend them and adjust the colors, highlights, shadows, and contrasts..
As far as learning, it started off as just a hobby at first. Messing around with film cameras when I was younger. I enjoyed taking pictures a lot with my first point and shoot after that. Then I got my first DSLR about 7 years ago or so. Once I started using it I started reading stuff online, I read the entire users manual cover to cover. Started reading photography books, and then eventually started taking photos more seriously as opposed to just a hobby. I started a photography business about 3-4 years ago and mainly do weddings and events. I still do landscapes as a hobby though. I still have a lot to learn, you can never stop learning. The best photographers are experts at photoshop, and that alone took me about a year to nail down.

The T2i is just as great.. The T4i has a few more upgrades on it but I would recommend staying with the T2i until you're really ready to step into a pricey full frame...

Ha, yeah a good lens is pricey.. I have a couple L lenses that ran around 1200+ a pop.. But they take amazing looking shots with perfect focus and clarity..
