Yosemite Trip and Photo disaster
The reason for my not posting anything for a long time is the disaster in the name of photography I had at Yosemite. Considering I can hold the camera steadily, I went for a fery low aperture (f32) for most of the landscape photos in Av mode. That translated into a very slow shutter speed, which went against the rule of 1/focal length. Result is a bunch of blurry images. I should've cranked up the ISO to 1600 or 3200 to have reasonable shutter speeds in these cases.
Some of the photos came reasonably well though. Especially the following shots:

 | While driving through Glacier Point Road, we came across this small secluded meadow, which was absolutely green, and full of colorful wildflowers. The bees were having a pretty good time. |
| This was shot next to the valley loop road. |  |

Sorry to hear about your photography disaster. It's a good thing these shots turned out well. By the way, there is a good reason to avoid very small apertures besides slow shutterspeeds. The diffraction effects at these apertures will aslo cause your photos to be blurry even with a tripod. See http://www.bobatkins.com/photography/technical/diffraction.html for more info.
Do you really have a ISO 3200 setting on a rebel XT???
