Hi, My name is Phil, I'm a hobby photographer looking to learn more about photography and editing.
I have a Canon EOS 550D with a 50mm prime lens, 18-55mm kit lens and a 70-300mm lens.
I have always been interested in Photography from a young age, seeing my dad take photos with his Olympus SLR at speical events and on our family holidays. I loved the developing process of film too the excitement of waiting to see the photos just taken slowly appear on the paper. Now I love taking photos of my 2 children and I'm really interested in food photography.

Hi Mary Anne,
Thank you for the welcome, I cant wait to start posting photos and joining in the community and events. I will check out the CC forum and post photos soon I'm just trying to find my feet on this site and work my way around everything. I am interested in the challenges it will get me out and about with my camera more and will help me to really think creatively when shooting.
