Hi all, my name is Gavin, im 19 from the Forest Of Dean. I work with my uncle in the week building and restoring horse drawn vehicles. Ive loved photography since i was younger, but never chased my dream of being a photography due to financial issues. Now after getting everything sorted i purchased a Canon EOS 400D. Ive come on here hoping to gain some imformation and help so i can get the most out of my camera. I know its not the best model avalible but i love it. I have one book called Digital SLR and photography for dummies by David D.Bush. Its has helped me but i thought i would benefit some more joining the forum.
Well thats me, want to know anything else just drop me a PM or leave me a comment.
All the best and thanks in advance for any help or info i recive.

You'd be suprised at how much work there is for this. Alot or private people like this sort of thing as well as travellers. We have about 2 or 3 years worth of restoration still. We also try to build new ones inbetween the restoration work. Mainly dreys like the one pictured abouve. Any more questions or comments please fire away lol. All the best
Gav :D
