Well, seeing this is my first post, I hope things go OK. I have recently aquired a new Canon 350D kit which includes the 18-55 and 75-300. Very happy with the kit other than having already noticed 8 dust spots. Yes the ambition is to get a 400mm job but that will have to wait so I hope in the mean time you don't mind a bit of cropping here and there. By all means please rework my images but please let me know what you do and what software you use, keeping in mind that I only have Canon, Photshop 5.0 LE and some other freebie stuff, so I can learn from you.
Not sure if the picture titles get attached so: the first one is an immmature Pacific Gull and the second an adult male. :oops:
