Thanks everyone, sometimes I learn the hard way, but I will keep learning. thanks for the resource suggestions.
off to visit grandchildren and won't have access to internet until I return Friday. Thanks for comments already made. I am such a novice and can't afford to buy new so appreciate having this opportunity to ask of the more experienced.
Oop, my lens damaged so bought a used one on E-bay, Realized when got it is EFS and I have a Canon 5D which takes EF. Is there such a thing as an adaptor for this, or do I need to sell it, or look for a cheap camera on e_bay that it will fit? Just begun reading more on this site - great info. thanks.
I am impressed. I have tried photos of the cardinal from my bird feeder, pleased with what I got, but nothing like these. What cameras do you use? And I expect that the birds trust you and you are close for the shots. Beautiful, and love the Ansel quote too. Will copy tht one down.
