Daylight Saving Time Meet My New Friend

I got a new lens on Friday and I haven't switched back to the old kit lens yet. It doesn't have a zoom, but it has an extremely large aperture so pictures in low light turn out without a flash. I also ordered a new external flash that will hopefully be here this week. Daylight Saving Time Change- I should be able to take great pictures even though you make my house dark!
Daddy took this picture- I think he's taking awesome pictures without turning the camera to full auto mode:
