I just ordered a canon rebel xsi with the standard 18-55mm lens... Will I be able to take pictures like that and do the HDR effect with Aperture on a mac? What wide angle lens would you recommend?

you can bracket with any lense. Do a quick search in google to see what HDR actually is though. Basically its bracket shoot. taking a single shot at propper exposre and then start with at least two over exposed and two underexposed. A lot of people use Photomatix and/or photoshop. Aperture is a great program but I never really use it for too much editing. As for what type of wide angle lense to get...There are a ton out there. It really depends on what you want to pay for. . 18mm is prettty wide, but its only an f3.5, and its actually not as wide as it would be on a full frame 35mm camera. I would recomend taking a look at some of the Canon EF series lenses. Just keep in mind a few things. You want something a little faster, check out an f2.8 prime wide angle or zoom wide angle. Prime lenses will always be more sharp then a zoom. I would also check out canons web site and look at their EF Series lense to get an idea of what kind of lense you might want. Also, dont be afraid to go with a third party lense such as Tamron or Sigma. Good luck, as photography is as adicting as your EVO when it comes to buying gear...

If I'm not mistaken the Canon EF lenses are designed for film cameras. They will work on digital cameras but you lose a small percentage of the focal length. The Canon EF-S lenses are designed specifically for the digital cameras. Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that is the case.

I like HDR images but they don't work on all shots where it makes it seem as if the photographer is trying too hard to make something out of nothing.
I like a bunch of the shots from above.

I rock the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM. This thing is awesome! However I'd love the EF 14mm f/2.8L USM. The only thing really missing from my arsenal is a telephoto zoom. I'll prolly pick up an EF 70-200mm f/2.8L or the IS version. This will happen when I get some actual $$$ to spend. A ggod prime combo is great though.
28mm f/1.8, 50mm f/1.4, 100mm f/2.0 would be capable of doing a lot. The lenses I just listed are from Canon's EF series.

Remember, there is such a thing as over editing a photo.

APS-C sized sensors like those found on the 10D, 20D, 30D, 40D, 50D have a 1.6x multiplication factor. That makes my 10-22mm a 16-35.2mm. The focal length of the lens obviously doesn't change but it gives that perception. Canon's EF-S series lenses will only work on these bodies and none of the APS-H or full frame sensor cameras. They were designed to work with the smaller opening found on these cameras but are not compatible with any other camera's.
The APS-H sized sensors found in the 1D Mark II, 1D Mark II N, and 1D Mark III have a 1.3x multiplication factor.
Lastly, the full frame sensor cameras like the 5D, 5D Mark II, 1DS, 1DS Mark II, and 1DS Mark III will not alter the percieved focal length at all. A 50mm lens will always be 50mm.

The EF lenses were designed for film cameras but try work great on digtal.
