wow,, such knowledge,,, thank you so much for everyones reply,, I will do some studying and try your different methods,,, !!1!

Ok,, thanks,, still learning the exposure thing so I will check things you mentioned,,, thank you very much!

ok,, got a question for right exposure,, Im slowly getting things figured out in right settings for whatever,, problem I encountered lately,,,isif the light meter is set at zero and reading correct light etc for the shot,,, how come sometimes when you take the pic,, its too dark as if the shutter is too fast,,,, still learning but I thought if the meter is set on zero by the factors,, shouldn't that be the correct exposure to take the picture ?? signed,,, confused!

I was wondering if anyone uses a teleconverter with zoom lens.. I have heard both ways one says good results,, another not so good,,, just was wondering if anyone on here uses them with zoomz taking wildlife with them...

thanks,,, hope everyone is doing well and getting great shots this summer!

Hey there,, welcome to the hedge,,, I am a Virginian also,,, great folks on here and any questions you have,, ask,, theres lots of knowledgable peeps on here!

Thanks everyone,,, I was wondering about that.. and I kept hearing placing them on those sites but theres so many millions of pics,, would take forever to find them and hope they sell when you do........ thanks for all the replies!

Just wondering if anyone has ever tried or are selling on stock photography sites? I keep being told to try some of those but at the same time. sounds like you need hundreds of them uploaded to sell anything?? just pondering! I know you cant make much from those but a lil extra never hurts!

beautiful!

I just went out from virginia to wyoming and all i had was my nikon d7000 d3300 I kept a 18 to 105 on the 3300 and had my 150 to 500mm on the 7000. The only other lens i had was a 55 to 300 so was pretty much covered. Unless you take an extreme amount of every kind of picture using all those lens. i would weed out what you think would be best. I had a camera bag thats medium size that i took with also batteries and chargers but in and out of motels/hotels.. it did get a bit weighty.. if you are doing alot of walking,, definately dont want to be carrying all that... wow.... im with your gf!!! lol just saying thats alot of changing lens,,,

easy with those lighter camera's,,, i know my nikons are a lot lighter than the canons my gf shoots with,,, but with that said,,, we were looking for new equipment,, i a new camera and she a new zooms lens,,, we were talked into trying the new sony that had an outragous zoom ,, taking it home only to find that because it was so light,, it was also very hard to hold still even with out using the zoom on it,,, shaky and blurring pics,,,, Th i understand the weight,, with my camera and a 150 to 500 lens,, it can get heavy as well... just saying about the lighter camera.s they may be easier to carry but also may compromise the steadyness!!!

I formatted my pics on my sd card by accident and have downloaded a few "free" programs only to sit and wait hours on them ,, they recover your pics that you can view then when you select the ones you want,,, they want you to buy the program for 100 bucks,,,,, please ,, if anyone knows how or a program not mis leading,, really appreciate it!!

Wow thanks for all the responses... makes me wonder which way to go... seems those using kenco 1.4 like them fine... maybe will ask about at the convention and see what the vendors or some the pro's use as well,,,,, thanks again everyone..... hope everyone has a great weekend to shoot!!!!!

Was just wondering if anyone uses teleconverters rather than long pricey lens. I have a sigma 150 to 500 lens which I like a lot,, tho when doing a lot of walking,, it tends to get heavy,, sooooo ,, was wondering if anyone uses converters on their say,, 200 to 300 lens and if it gives a good focused pic as well? heading to a photography conference and lots of vendors in nov. just asking for suggestions.. critics ... oh ,,, I have a Nikon d7000 and a d3300 I use to shoot,,, thanks for your help and thoughts!!!

russell

I really like that too,,, love the black and white!

wow,,, thanks all for the replies....I guess its all a learning process,,, Maybe others do the same thing,, I look around on line and some of these shots people take are so incredible,,, its amazing but too I gotta think,, how much do they shoot,, do they sleep with their camera.s are they pros that spend 80 hrs a week shooting... all varibles,,,,I need to hang out more on here,, I like this site and feed back,, just get busy and put things aside,,, I will be here more often,, Really enjoy the pics you folks shoot as well and reading forums has helped me a bit also,,,, still lots to learn!!
