Hi

I am a 17 y/o student from South East England. I have been interested in photography for the past five or so years but only seriously for about two (when I got my hands on my dad's old Eos 500 when he bought a Minolta A1). I am still learning with my 20D which I bought in November after getting fed up with my Minolta Z3 when I tried to photograph serious sport and wildlife.
My inventory now consists of the 20D, a sigma 100-300 f/4 and an 18-55mm (along with the obligatory tripod etc.). I am saving up for a decent wide angle but, after buying the sigma, am somewhat broke (never mind, my parents are paying the bills... for now!).
I have just started submitting photos for stock and have just been recently accpeted into Alamy, which is great. I would appreciate any advice on a)selling photos, b) wildife photography and c) sprots photography, particularly UK professionals as I am so far struggling to find much info on UK sports photography.
Thanks for reading!

Welcome Toby
This forum is really new, but no doubt you'll find quickly some Britts to talk to!
BTW you've got good parents, be nice with them! :)))

They're great and obviously I wouldn't have the gear I have today without them but I do buy the stuff myself (although obviously most of my funding comes from pocket money!) but I am trying to find my own ways to fully fund what could almost be described as my addiction!
