Microwave it for 3 minutes before use each time, helps keep the exposures apertured. Also shoot with the light behind you

Seems to be going fine. Nice DOF on #2.

Congratulations! Keep it dehumidified unless you wanna grow cultures on the lens and image sensor

If you want to stand out, composition, focus and exposure are the most important things. Learn more here: https://www.photo.net/

Get a protective filter for the front of your lens as it’s cheaper to replace that if it gets scratched than the lens itself

Get yourself a Prime 50mm 1.8 or 1.4 ... and take pictures of beautiful women ... after you get their permission of course

Learn composure and the rule of thirds @OP, learn manual shutter control and focus etc, anything above 1/160 is good :) learn about ISO too

and get some decent cleaners for the lense, and always keep the cap on if not using it.

Perfect beginner camera. Hell we own a photography studio and i still have some T3s and old Sonys on the self. Love that old sony.

Congrats! Good job going with a DSLR. I cheaped out and bought a Sony bridge camera and it's pretty limiting.

Congrats! Tip - learn how to shoot in manual modes. (Manual, aperture or shutter priority) Lots of podcasts out there to help you learn.

Oh and if you are doing lots of people (dog) close-ups get a 50mm prime lens. Cheap lens and produces awesome shots.

Best tip is to shoot everyday! Take your camera wherever you go!

Use fine grit sandpaper on the lens to remove dust that accumulates from time to time

I've gotten some decent shots with my T3i.

Put it in P for perfect photos. Also, aperture mode is your friend. And get a nifty fifty. Shoot and evaluate settings and results

Software is important. Adobe is expensive, corel makes affordable software that does great things. Greenscreen is tricky stuff.

Following to see how this goes. I’ve been eyeing the cannon for a while.

canon is probably the best entry-level DSLR's you're going to find for still photography, but they're "meh" for filming.

Agreed. If it’s in your budget to make the jump to the T7i, the megapixels are worth it.
