Hi Fi
I think maybe a tad lighter. And I like Robs pimp as well.
Since you have this wonderful new toy (even if it is a Canon), of course you are spending your time learning your way around. But it might have be instructive and fun to spend an hour here (or anywhere for that matter), moving around, trying different angles and framing, settings, etc, and then seeing what happens and what works.
Of course to do that you need a secretary recording all of your variables
Anyone available for that?
Anyway, it appears that you are having a great time with your cam. I envy you.
And did you ever solve your problem with not saving RAW?
