Hey Guys...

I Ashwin Raj ,have landed here directly from xBhp... :)

2006
My passion for photography started when I bought my first bike in 2006 and started touring on it. Those days I used my Sony Ericson W550i (First mobile too) to take snaps. One of my trips to KR Hills I realized that I need more.. to capture those beautiful places. Then on I used to borrow a Canon A540 from my friend. I think this is the cam which made me to start taking snaps not becasue of the CAM but the those small small appreciation which I got from my friends and from people over xBhp.

2007
I am one who likes to get motivation from others.. and ofcource xBhp helped me in that way and my interest to phtography. Also I am inspired by some of my friends and xMens.

2008

Once I borrowed a CAM from my friend and lost it on the way to her home :(
I got her back a new cam and that cost me 14k.
Then I bought another CAM from my friend for one of the xBhp G2G's to Mutathi and the click button came out once I reached there. I spent 5k to get it repaired and gave it back :(


More is never enough !
Its was time for me to buy a new CAM :). Got help from our own Srikeerthi and finalized to buy a 450D and I have it Now.This CAM has changed way I took photos. Ofcourse a SLR allows you to do more, I am very happy with this and still learning..

Now I am planning to get a new ZOOM lense.. I will need you guys help to finalize one :).


Ohh yeah forgot to mention one thing I did won a photography contest contected by Canon and NICC in forum, bangalore (2nd prize). I got a Canon Powershot A470. God gave me back the cam I lost in a different way :)


So here are few pics.

From W550i :)

Welcome! saw your post on a zoom lens with a $600 budget...! would recommend the 70-200 f/4 L non IS. You should be able to get it for around $550.
