I have always loved photography, and am so glad I was introduced to this site so I can show some of it off! I’ve only had the Canon EOS 450D a number of weeks! Before that just used instamatics and basic digital cameras that did everything for you! It’s great now getting to experiment with shutter speeds, apertures etc! Any constructive feedback would be welcomed as I would love to get the best results I can from my photography! Cheers! Phil
P.S Please check out some finished products below, how good would these look adorning your walls at home! Please feel free to buy! My bank balance needs you!!!!
