My first DSLR

I got my first dslr today. It'a Canon 450d. I have been wanting a dslr ever since. Finally I have saved enough to get one. I bought it at Henry's at hidalgo for 35,500 with kit lens. And I also bought a 50mm f1.8 at Avenue. This is completely new to me.

The first thing I noticed with this 450d is, when I look thru the view finder, I don't see the actual output of my setting. This is the first different thing I noticed compared to Canon s3 IS. I really need to practice a lot with this. Here is my first test shot.
