Maybe you would be more careful . If you didn't have the filter on the end . I'm aware of every thing I do when I'm packing my camera ,

I have been saying the same thing for years , but no one seams to under stand , it has been proven, and tested , they put a bunch of lenses , old ones that were collect and given to them , under all sorts of test from rolling down hills with a lot of rocks to dripping on rocks , falling out of cars , and a bunch more , to many different things to list , and the out come was a lens hood saved many more than a filter did , the filter was smashed then the lens was damaged if all you had was a filler , but a lens hood on the end ,you had to have the lens hit the rock or what ever and it had to be the right size to to let the rock in and right length , , and this was written up in a photo mag in the seventies , I never use a filter now a polarizer some time for the glare not to protec , never damaged a lens yet since and I'm taking a lot more photoes than the average shooter , a few thousand a year but not as many as some , in my slide days it wasn't as many
Because of the cost of a roll of slides . But now there is no cost you can shoot a few hundered and save them on some
Medeium and start over or deleat what you don't want , and there is no need for colour filters you can do all that in computer .

Where can I get a set of old head lights , you know the kind where' you opened the lens that was on a hinge , and at
Night you lit a candle that was inside . That was fun you had to stop about every mile because they would blow out
All the time , my dad give me his lighter and I was the fire man for the lights , what fun a, about as much fun as camera
Film , . It may be illegal this day and age , like film should be , because of the cost , call it high way robbery

Back button focus and continuous shutter speed and a high shutter speeds , are great for getting some good ones ,these
are very photo genec .and worth looking at

I have the perfect place for it it's above my stone fireplace between two wooden burnt beams about a 38x19 in space

This photo could be a winner for people who live in summer or hunting cabins , also people who live in log houses , or like minded people in any house . Just have a few blown up to a size of a 32 inch or 40 inch TV , and I bet you will sell them , advertise in the right books , log home books , cottage by the lake books , etc . Just send me one for the idea
When there a hit,

Maybe eye glasses would help . Or try printing them out to say 8x10 . It should be night and day difference .

Does Nikon D3300 ring a bell , like he printed out at beginning of his page .

Allways shoot raw first than shot JPEG after if you can , if your shooting wild birds
And other anamels you may never get the second chance ,, and if your S raw at
Least you have better chance of saving something from your outing like this eagle
If it was a raw shot , you would be able to get a ton more of detail out of the wing and body , it could have been , but ?

It sounds like you have no idea what is or how to control control exposure , there is several ways to adjust exposure when you know what it is and what to do , to get best exposure , you can buy a faster lens or ,use wider fstop , higher ISO ,slower shutter speed less stop lower ISO etc learn how to increase or decrease all the above

Where where what's a spark , is there smoke a fire ?.?

What is the macro used for . I would think it is a little short for insects flowers , to much bending , for face portrait
It may be ok , on a full frame it's only 10 mm away from normal . I would think a 120 mm or at least 90mml

Well your not going to get what Reag gets with that lens it's probable a 300mm max and a cheap one at that , so don't
compare to his gear , his what ? Over $6 or $7000 lens and a doubler , it would be a shot if you could pull it in close and frame ir depending if it was sharp ,it looks like my 70-300 at the most , and it is not a good picture , is it me it doesent matter what kind of shot is put on the hog , it's almost a given every one will praise it , we Canadians I think are more likely to tell the truth , if it's a crappy picture say it ,never mind all the other fudging tell it as you see it , where all grown ups we can Handel , I have seen the the most afull pictures in these with nothing but praise towards it , come on gang it's not what your striving for I hope ,

This is a very pro ,looking photo in all ways , one of the better ones that I have seen , every thing is done right

Each poluition has its own level and it's own tube and the coal is the biggest one
