Out and about with my camera

Getting into photography is like learning to use studio tools al over again. Getting down with ISO settings, shutter speeds, different lens's etc etc is taking sometime to totally understand. Most of the pictures here are taken with the standard 18-55mm lens which came with my camera however I have just ordered an EF 50mm f1.8 mark 2 lens which Im told will allow more light in - good for live gig photography! So some of these are a little dark however Im generally happy with what Ive got so far. Thanks to my old school pal Dean for the advice and tips he has given me. You should check his site out here.

First up is some photos of Tim Exile whom you might remember from the video I did for him earlier this year. He has recently just been signed to Warp Records!

Here he is at Brightons Concorde 2 Venue.
