Nice work. The gull in the last pic is like “WTF dude?”

70-300, I envy you although I’m a sucker for close-ups. I’m gonna have to get one of those long range ones eventually, but I’m not sure which to invest in first.

im going to get a 550D on finance, only problem is i wont be able to afford any decent lens or a case or a tripod or remote shutter release.. so yeah, if i buy a lower spec than that i know i’ll want to upgrade in no time.. where as this way i can get a lens next month etc 🙂
i’ve even taken my car off the road haha

Thanks for the compliments guys. But I still consider myself an amateur. Picked up this cam (my first DSLR, mind you) for $200 on ebay about 5 months ago. bought the sigma about a month ago as I wasn’t too happy with the standard 18-55mm kit lens.

IMO if you can afford it, look at the 50D as well. Got a chance to play with it a few weeks ago and I couldn’t bring myself to shoot with my 300D for 2 weeks after. Thats how good it is. And yeah, save up for a better lens.
