Hi folks.
I am seriously thinking to replace my two kit lenses (18-55 and 50-200mm) with a Nikon 18-200.
I heard the tend to have issues when pointed straight up or down.
Which is really not a dealbreaker for me.
I just upgraded from a nikon D3200 to a D7200 and I think my skills have improved a little, and want the advantages of not having to change lenses every five minutes while on vacations.
I have been shooting with my trusty 50mm lens, and I like it a lot, specially the bokeh it gives.
I do mostly portraits but I also like to go outdoors and shoot at birds, landscape etc. Imputs will be really appreciated.
Thanks!

Go online and get the visitor information and maps for the area, the park and other surrounding areas - south of the park is the Grand Tetons - some of the most beautiful country around.

Just outside of West Yellowstone, is the Madison river and Hebgen (earthquake) lake - very interesting and pretty.

4 days is a short trip for the park -
You will be entering on the west side - study the map and routes - be prepared for road closures - construction and areas being closed off -

Check with the park for planned closures -

Make backup plans -

I would recommend the standards - geyser, morning glory pool, grand canyon of Yellowstone, upper and lower falls, mud bogs -

Lots of walking trails - but they eat up time - try to stick to the major sits.

Not sure when you will be there, but plan on long days and slow traffic -
people just stopping their cars in the road to get pictures - lots of traffic jams...

Drink lots of water to prevent dehydration and altitude sickness...

Have fun :)

Since my visit there I found a few sites (not bookmarked, unfortunately)that give you a list of spots just off the frequently trodden path that'll give your pics a different aspect whether from a DSLR or P&P. I expect someone on here will know of one.

Map out a route and use these to extend a visit to any one place, get a more memorable shot that not everyone else has, and just ease off on the constant convoying of people around.

Or hire a coach and driver that can take the whole party on one bus.

Like to be of more help, but I've only been there once myself and as much as I'd love to revisit there's more more world to get to first.

Actually, my wife also suggested the bus idea.
Maybe this time I will listen to her.
Thanks for the suggestions, they will be useful

Oh my gosh! Why I didn't think about it.
I will offer a photographic safari, and everybody will have to carry their own backpack.
the six month baby only will carry his own milk bottle and my extra camera batteries.
genius!

Actually, three of us are leaders of the boyscouts troop at our church.
So, maybe cooking and other tasks won't be that hard.
The main issue will be to know Yellowstone's better places.

Hi folks.
Last summer, during a short camping with a couple of families we began talking about the great photographic opportunities at Yellowstone, and we told our friends what a beautiful place is this place to visit.

Fast forward a few months, and suddenly, I am on charge of organizing a four days three nights camping at KOA in West Yellowstone for eight families with over 50 members total, ages ranging from 50 years to six months old!

Now, I am trying to put together the logistic of food, activities, and trip to Yellowstone's places of interest, when I have been at the darn place only once.

Any ideas about what to include and what to avoid in order to keep this vacations from becoming a living hell?!!

I am even thinking leaving my Nikon D3200 at home since probably I won't even have time to take pictures anyway.
(just kidding)

Please, somebody help me!!!!

Hey, I just saw an sb-600 in the local ads, and the reviews online are good.
I think I found my new flash.
Thanks everybody!

I also agree on the t3I vs. T5.
I almost spent 200 more on a nikon 3300 when my 3200 is almost the same.
Like the pros here say all the time.
"Start with a camera that you feel confortable, then upgrade lenses, and only after you outgrown your camera get a new one."
Good luck
