Well I've made the plunge and bought myself a second hand canon 350d with a 55mm lens for £195
I also bought a sigma 70-300mm lens for £89
Heres my 2 of my favorite Deer shots from my 1st outing :)

Good captures, Trev - could do with a sharpen, perhaps?

Why thank you kiddies :)
They were taken in my back yard... haha.. no they were at a place called Arne near Wareham.

We should organise a TP meet there?

Canny bargain Trev, a promising start.

Good buy. I'd guess that with a little more PP those shots would start to shine.

Bit more sharpening, NR on bg and played with levels a little. No PS expert just playing, hope you don't mind :D

You carry on mate :)
what sharpening method did you use?
I used high pass 10% with an opacity on "hard" of 31%...

Nice one, I have the 70-300mm sigma too. I'll be out hunting deer this weekend hopefully! (with my camera btw :))

Also going deer 'hunting' soon for a photography project =]

Great pictures you got there, I love that first one.

Think we should organise a meet at Arne.. theres about 100 deer that mainly stay in a group and are really easy to find.
