Be patient. And what mattd85 said.

Errrrr. Connecting to the camera and then taking photos :) The main answer is probably portraits but I suppose that depends on how creative you wan to be!

I've recently started taking some pics with my iPhone due to the fact that I had been at work and didn't want to lug my 50D to work and back. I've not done anything with the pics, just upload them straight to flickr and my photoblog.

Well done and welcome to TP !!!
