I've only got a Canon 650d and shite lenses but being honest I'd not justify one like some of the ones you guys have,I like pottering about with the dogs on fells,in forests etc,I've already knackered one camera through getting it soaked and have fell and broke three lenses haha..NUMB springs to mind here I think..not safe out let alone with thousands of pounds of hi-tech gear hanging around my neck ?

FUJI 17,729 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Tell you what Bill,I can recall a year or two back when you had the Osprey pics on here and the Cuckoo's & Kingfisher's, they were something else..not sure if they were took with the gear you have now but if it was then you don't need anything else lol..credit where credits due they were mint mate 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
J Darcy 5,871 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Above everything else...what needs to be remembered, is that it is not the camera that takes the photo, but the man behind it. A good photographer will take good shots with crap gear. It makes me laugh when some people think that all you need to get a good photo is a good camera....well, to consistantly get good shots you've got to be good and you've got to try, try and try again, because only effort is going to get you good photos. There are no short cuts. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omanyra 2,518 Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 Cheers matie, all will have been taken with the D700 and the 300mm, but the ospreys I would have hired a lens for them Im doing ospreys in July, and have the lens booked already. Thanks again Fuji 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks again Fuji Bill,what would happen if heaven forbid you ended up damaging or totally knackering a hired lens? The hire includes the lens being fully insured, theres an excess of £200, the hire also include delivery and picking up at your house..Im hiring a 500mm f4 this year, as unlike JD I cant afford £7000 + HA HA HA Edited March 28, 2015 by Omanyra Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Let's hope the Osprey's play ball,I'm not even sure if they still return here each year on Bassenthwaite? I guess they still do as there's always people out with fancy cameras and all matter of bino's,telescopes the lot..I had the dogs out one day and walked right to the tree of the nest,I wasn't aware it was there,there was hundreds of cables running into a hut nearby,satellite dishes attached to rocks and cameras everywhere..I bet they thought "who's this clown,bold as brass walking to the nesting site" two lurchers and a Pomeranian at heel lol..now I know its there I avoid it,I've never actually seen the birds although to be fair I don't sit in wait haha 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
