(wasnt sure in what part of the forum to put this so...)
Hello friends, I am new to this forum and as a swede from the north and living in the neck of the woods I love nature and birds and love to photografh almost everything (im pretty bad but getting the hang of it more and more) but my question is my gear. (and sorry for all the text
)
I know as well as the next guy/woman that you can get really good pictures with an old camera but its the lens and the man/woman behind it that makes the difference.
The thing is, in most of the cases I cant sneak up to the birds due to the high levels of dead branches in the forrest (the swedish spruce and the birch, they will hear me a mile away and its hard to sit and wait for hours while they are allways 70 meters away from me and the sun is turning in the wrong direction while waiting
so any suggestions on my gear cuz I want good close ups and dont want to crop the pics afterwards to get a good "zoom"
gear:
Canon EOS 7D
Canon Zoom lens EF 70-200mm 1:4 L IS USM
Canon extender EF 2X III
Sigma EX DG HSM 50mm 1:1.4
a crappy tripod
I am looking at Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6,3 DG OS HSM but it costs about 1137:- USD and Tamron SP 150-600/5-6,3 Di VC (1024:- USD) but right about now I need to invest in diapers for my newborn
/kind regards
