Looking for ideas...

I recently received a 55-250mm lens for my Canon Rebel t3 camera.. Im lost with this lens (granted i just got it yesterday... anyways...).. If you have this lens... could you show me some pictures you took with it to give me an idea of what kind of shots i can do with it  

Moon shots are fun.
Birds.
The neighbors in their bathroom.

LMFAO! My friend Marcie told me to try n shoot the moon tonight. So I think I might try that. Is this lens more for far away shots? Sorry Im not too knowledgeable with lenses and what they do yet lol

It's pretty versatile. On your camera, it won't be ideal for indoors, but great for outside, getting pictures of the kids. It should be fine for portraits and what not, just will have to be backed up a little further than you would with your other lens (assuming you have an 18-55mm kit lens)

but at 250mm, it's a pretty far zoom

yeah i just had the kit lens that came with my camera and jsut got this lens friday. I been bitchin about needing another lens and Kevin bought me this 55-250mm. A bunch of my friends told me that this would probably be the best one for me to get for the time being and for what i usually take pics of.. since its mostly outdoorsy stuff and my kids
