Pics done with rebel and kit lens. Missed many opportunities because I didn't have enough zoom. Working on a wish list. What's a good first buy? Please Critique photos also as I am a rookie at all of this. Pics are straight from the with no exiting. Thank you in advance!
Yosemite mule deer
Yellowstone elk

Ha! My iphone made me do it. I love all the new technology but it doesn't always like me! What would you change?
I am by far not an expert. If anything, I am an average novice. But, the look a little over exposed... The pictures are really not bad... I did a little light addjustment on the elk photo...

Both Canon and Nikon (and probably several others) offer bridge cameras with extended optical zooms which are said to produce quality images. My son has a Canon SX30....
But if you are sticking with DSLRs-- you might look at a 1.4x extender for added reach.

Thanks! I will look into that.

Telextenders aren't good with the kit lens, especially if you're talking about the 18-55.
It's not made for that.
Get a real telephoto zoom.
Do you have a budget in mind?
I like your photos, but they could benefit from a better exposure, particularly the second one.
It's overexposed.
This is the kind of stuff where shooting raw format would be a real benefit.
KLA,
Photos aren't bad. You might want to try to wait till heads are up. I realize it's easier said than done in nature. As for lens, I have a Canon and I have the 70-300MM which gives me good reach and really nice quality images. I'd also suggest you use a Circular Polarizing Filters when shooting outside in bright light.
Keep up the good work, Have Fun.

Thanks for the information. I'm finding out that lenses are a huge investment but a necessary evil. $1,500 is my target. Any suggestions?
For my wildlife I use Canon 100-400 lens and I love it!
Brilliant lens 100-400. Brillant

You might try the Sigma 150-500 It's a great lens and many of the people here on UHH use it, The Sigma 150-500 is just over a Grand. I have the Sigma 50-500 which costs about an additional $600 more than the 150-500 but I love it for Wildlife photography.
