New Camera

Hello All, this is my new blog which I'm dedicating to my photography.

Two weeks ago I bought a brand new Canon EOS 500D from my local Jessops. It's an awesome camera with 15Mp and can do 720p video. I have just got a lens in the post which I bought on eBay. It the 75-300 Canon IS model.

Unfortunately I found this lens is the older model which has a VERY noisey IS (Image Stabiliser) mechanism and focusing is really noisey too. This wouldn't be a problem with photos but forget videos with sound!!

However I've named this blog SRP Photography since I want to start a little photography business with that name (SRP is my initials - Stephen Robert Phillips). If things go well, I'll invest in more equipment

I love doing portrait photography and working with families and children, I'm already working as a nanny and I think that style of photography would suit me very well.

However, I need to build up my portfolio and see how it all goes.

Watch this space!!
