i know there are bunch of threads on here with the word "tips help etc" but those threads are 100 of pages filled with peoples pictures. might as well call it a gallery. anyways i have a few quick questions
i have a canon 350d and wondering why the shots ive been taking are just like the point and shoot cameras..

i have the kit lens and a wideangle lens.
so does is the wideangle lens supposed to screw onto the kit lens etc?
also..it doesnt look very "wideangle" to me. any tips on improving the shots and how do you manual turn off the flash without actually being in flash mode. thanks guyss..all my shots look like from the regular point and shoot ;[

also anyone know how to take rolling shots..i cant even adjust the iso.

i go to accessphoto.com lots of tips and advice on there

yeh i agree read the manual also

 

Is the wide angle and adapter or is it an actual lens?

Seems like the first thing you need to do is read the manual.

photography is an art, and like other forms of art, the artist is more important than the tools they are using. i would suggest reading some photography books (including the manual) and more importantly practice shooting.

i know but only good artists say that. lol

and i think i got the slip on not the actual lens

 

iso doesn't have anything to do with rolling shots.

 

hmm..ok so do the attach-on wide angle lenses suck or what..i dont really notice it..anytips?

 

What does it look like? Any pictures with it?

Never heard of a attachable wide lens for a DSLR.

 

 

Specs on it? Doesn't look like it would do much anyways.

 

58mm 0.45 digital wide lens w macro

Not sure if it's different, but isn't wide = anything lower than 18mm?

Never gotten into wide angle lenses.

And yeah, sign up for http://www.accessphoto.com/ they can help you a lot more.

 

i would avoid any of the such. there will be nothing but an incredible loss of image quality if you mount that on top of any lens.

its very true though, having a good camera doesn't necessarily make you a good photographer. anyways, the more practice you get, the easier it will become for you to be familiar with your camera and know how to change the settings to enhance your photography. even the great photographers started off not knowing how to control their camera. you can really see an evolution of photography skill with time with most people (especially on this site)

Read the manual. I asked the same stuff about 2 years ago and everyone kept telling me to read the manual.

Everything is in there, well most. Then just practice and practice

Photoshop helps a bunch, learn how to use that too

 

read the manual.
