f-stop, iso, and a cute baby

I've had this Canon Rebel XS EOS (or whatever) for, like, 2 years and I don't know how to take a picture with it unless it's in fully automatic mode.

Single Dad Laughing's brother is posting weekly about how to work a camera and so I thought I'd try out the f-stop, shutter speed, and iso stuff he wrote about. 

Well, without a tripod, shutter speed was just gonna have to stay what it is - quick.

But I did mess around with the f-stop and iso. I don't know that what I ended up with is any better than what it would have been on full auto, but hey, it's a first step into taking charge of my camera and at least I can say, I did that!

Not quite right
