I got into it through a combination of courses (went on the RPS wedding photography course), offering freebies on wedding forums + shooting friend and family weddings. This allowed me to build up a decent portfolio which then lead onto me getting a few jobs 2nd shooting. I have recently...

300D was my first DSLR. Ideal first camera if you are looking to get a DSLR.

I have a 17-40mm on a 5D mkII - and have found that with cokin filters - the filter holder is visible in the shots at 17mm. I reckon the widest you'll be able to go when using filters is about 20mm.

It would be one step on a slippery slope. It would start of with "close up" shots (how do you define "close up"). But what happens about a photo that is ever so slightly wider - ban it, then a little wider still - ban it. Where do we end up - you cant take a photo anywhere where people are.

Its ok - that suggestion has already been made ad-infinitum :D

Excellent - thanks - exactly what I thought.

I am in a discussion on another forum with somebody who has taken exception to the price of a school photo print pack of their kid. They simply want a digital photo for a "fraction of the cost" so they can print it themselves - which they obviously arent going to get. but........ Somebody...

I've got two sets of Duracell 2800s and two sets of Energiser 2600s - both have lasted me a full day wedding.
