Hi folks,just after a bit of advice
I have had a Nikon D80 for about 9 months,I was using a 300mm lense but upgraded to a Sigma 150-500mm a few months ago
I was just wondering what settings others with similar equipment use as I tend to fiddle about with it and don't seem to always ge the results I believe I should.
I usually have it on Aperture but some of the other settings on the D80 which friends tell me I should use,seem to contradict what others say
I admit I am not the greatest photographer on the planet and probably should go on a course but because of work commitments I simply haven't got round to it yet.
Also,if anyone could advise me the best settings to get decent results taking snaps of owls around dusk or just before this would be greatly appreciated as this is what I enjoy doing the most but it's also the most frustrating just as the light goes,for this do I maybe need to move up another model or two in my camera choice.
Thanks
Rob
