Random shots: Learning DSLR photography

I've always been interested in high quality pictures. However, hardly I have time to spend on my this hobby. Last year I bought my first DSLR (Canon Kiss X3/EOS 500D /Digital Rebel T1i) and let me tell you one-thing that it's a great camera to begin with (please take a look at some of my earlier photos here). Well, buying an expensive camera will not just magically take high quality pictures. Imagination and skill are the basic requirements of photography and experimentation is the key to success. So, my experiments with DSLR continues. Let me share with you all some random shots through my lens (you may also visit my Flickr stream).
