Taken the plunge!

Hi Guys,

After being inspired by the pictures on here I've just bought my first DLSR, A Canon 550d with a EFS 17-85mm lens. Just need to learn how to use it now!

Cheers, Chris

Hello Chris

Sometimes the learing curve is pretty steep, but with lots of practice and vision the gear you have there can produce excellent results.

Hope it all goes well.

After a couple of hours play, the thing that amazes me the most is how well shots come out in quite gloomy rooms without the need for the flash.
