Curious Too ?

I am sorry if I overstep my question. But, why doesn't anybody say anything about the Tamrac Expedition 8 backpack for carrying all this guys stuff. Yeah I paid up for it but it's great on the shoulders, got a waist band for stability, hold a lot of gear, and has great protection thickness for equipment? Lowepro is good but so are others.
I l also know I'm opening myself up for attack, so I apologize if I offend anyone. I'm still an amateur and do learn every day from this group ! Thank you to everyone.

Sounds like you're traveling. I use a Tamrac Expedition 8X backpack. You're probably going to buy more stuff and you'll need more room.
I've always outgeared my camera bags, and have found this to be a great travel backpack. I use smaller camera bags when taking pictures locally.
Good luck with your decision and happy shooting.

I use this lens on a D7200 and as it has been mentioned prior, you can use it for anything. I've used for portraits, landscape and even night photography. All I had the day this sunset was taken was the 50mm. It's a great part of my arsenal of lenses.

All these Have Been Taken With a D7200 Micro Lens and I Love It, Yeah You Got To Get Close But So What, That's half The Fun !
Enjoy !!

Hello I shoot a Nikon D7200, 1/3 crop mode to get me really close photos. ISO 1600 max. I use a Sigma 150/600 sport lens which equates to approximately 1200mm. I start at 1250/sec F8 and adjust from there. Single point focus, continuous, and back button focus, and camera set to only shoot on focus. Frames set to high continuous with 100 maximum. Practice on panning( following the bird) and keeping your focus point dead on your target ( not easy). The old saying spray and pray may hold true for a while till you have to process hundreds of worthless shots. Patience and Practice will win the day ! Take Your Time and Shoot when subject is best !
Best of luck, and you'll have tons of fun !!

Thank you sir for the recommendation, I shall try a lower ISO to see the outcome, appreciate the thought !!
Also because I shoot so fast, my shooting is done handheld. Will try the tri-pod as well, usually only use them for time-lapse.

Thank You Very Much !!!

When I shoot pictures of the Moon, I set my ISO between 1600 and 3200. My Aperture to F8 or 9 (sweet spot) and sometimes higher, and my shutter to 2000/sec, 2500/sec or more.
The faster the shutter the less light enters the camera. I use a Nikon D7200 with a Sigma 150/600. This is the result. I wish you many good evenings of shooting this great heavenly body !
