This was one of the first photos I took when I first got my Rebel! (many years ago, I want a new one) Well, the actual first photo was of the dining room table, accidentally taken while I was fiddling with learning all the buttons and settings... this was
the 2nd picture: she had to be my experimental subject!

Also, does anyone have any advise on how to set a computer monitor to really know how a picture will look when printed? I got a new monitor, but pictures that look just fine to me on the screen are not so fine when printed. (too dark) I've adjusted the monitor to be low brightness and low contrast and I tried using the auto adjust feature, but still the print does not match what I see. I could go back to my old monitor, nothing was wrong with it, except its size. I really like the slim, flat, wide screen one that I got, but if it's no good for photos it'll go by-by.

Thanks for looking.
