I have a website if anyones interested in having a peep:

www.louisegroomphotography.co.uk

So,

Just wondering if I could have some advice from photographers who use a canon DSLR.

I currently have a Canon 500D and am looking into buying a bigger zoom lens (currents lens -18-55mm and 55-250mm). I'm into wildlife, nature and equine. I'm looking at either the canon 100-400mm or the canon fixed 300mm lens with a tele-converter as I have heard this is sharper and better quality than the 100-400m.

I'm also looking to upgrade my camera to a newer one in the next year - yr 1/2

So yeah was just wondering if anyone has any camera advice and things ?

Thanks

Hey guys. Next year as part of an expedition module we get to go on expedition to anywhere in the world. I would love to go to Africa or Canada and in order to achieve this I need to start fundraising now to help with costs. I have set up a fundraising gallery that contains photographs I have taken since starting University. Please can you check it out and possibly buy some prints and spread the word ? It'd be much appreciated.

The gallery consists of Equine, Wildlife and Nature shots.

Over the coming months I will be adding more pictures and will be re-posting the link when I have.

Please share and spread the word

Thank you!
