How did I get the wee guy with the shades

I wouldn't waste money on a tripod, leave them to the wedding photographers learn to hold the camera right or if you need to get anything, get a monopod, more practical in the field. In low light I like to do panning so a tripod is no use to me. Zoom lenses are good but like everything they have a pay off, less light being the obvious one. Depth of Field less obvious. A lot of photos look out of focus because of this. Some lenses, full zoom, aperture at its highest value (F2. taking a head shot of a dog, it's nose could be in focus but its eyes out, the DOF is that small. If you master apertu

SLR's are all about the lenses. Pick a brand and look at the selection of lenses you can get for it. Lenses come in a variety of forms depending on your chosen interests and mind, your interests might change over the years so a camera like a Nikon or Cannon have huge assortments of lenses plus sigma and Tamron lenses can be used on them.

I don't know if this helps you but you can get some cracking close up photos with a digiscope attached to a point and shoot camera. If you don't mind using a tripod, maybe worth thinking about. I'm not sure if it can be attached to your camera but a quick google would find out. I know this method is great for birds of prey etc that tend to be a way off.

Old subject this but I've only found this section through accident but here's my penny's worth if anyone's interested. About 8 years ago (maybe more) I was having this dilemma, whether to get a x2 or x1.4. I'd forked out £700+ for a sigma 70-200mm with F2.8 through all focal lengths. But I wanted extra zoom, the x1.4 brought it upto 280mm and made it F4 which is still pretty good. The x2 just stole too much light for my liking and defeated the purpose of buying a fast lens. I've used the x1.4 continue sly on that lens and I'm well happy with it. Only real draw back I'd say is although its good

its more light for faster shutter speeds :sigh: less light needed BY THE LENS means faster shutter speeds. I was talking about the lens, didn't know I had to write lens after every statement though

Such is life on the hunting life baw I think you want to make up your mind would you help a lad out if you could or not?and it's not about taking the world on and stuff come on I just think it's the right thing to do for the person and the dog if you let them get away with it they will do it all the tim

Paddys market, I've not seen that wrote down in a long time mate. You could have sold your granny there. Same with the barras, they had a unique feel to them. I can mind seeing the toughest dog I ever saw at the barras, I must have been about 12. Back when the barras was bustling, 2 you lads standing at the side talking. This battle scared dog standing in the middle of the lane, half an ear, face and back scared to f**k, head back, legs apart just staring watching every c**t trying to get by it giving it a wind birth. I gave it a chip
