tripod help
As stated before, Your tripod depends on what you are photographing. Wildlife with a heavy lenses larges sturdy tripod, Gimbal head. Landscapes Tripod surdy, a good ball head. Do you want an aluminum tripod (cheaper) or a Carbon one (pricer) I have 2 tripods in my car one for wildlife and one for scenic plus a Monopod and also a small tripod for macros. Remember you get what you pay for the tripod.

Is a teleconverter worth the money?
I use converters with my f 2.8 and f 4 lenses without difficulty. My main one is the Nikon 1.7x then the Nikon 1.4x on a brighter day if I need it the 2x

How do you photograph on a cloudy of overcast day?
Expose your histogrm to the right then correct in post-processing. I like cloudy days no major highlights to worry about and the light is usually the same from all angles

Thoughts on a camera vest
oldtool2 wrote:
I know there was recently some posts about vests. I came across this one and would like some thoughts about it such as would it work out well for 2 camera bodies and2 or 3 lenses. How practical do you think t would be? I really like the idea of padded shoulders.

Camera "raincoat"
I have tried them all Storm Jackets etc I love the LensCoat RainCoat it comes in 2 sizes, for long lens and for shorter lens and it has velco straps that hold it to the lens without flapping used it in a downpoar in Alaska and my lens and camera did not get wet. I have both sizes. and it doesn't need to attch to the viewfinder

Sigma 50-500mm APO DG OS F4.5-6.3 Lens, Nikon Mount
before I upgraded to prime lens I use this lens and my son uses it now, sharp. think f 8 and 1/1000 sec to get best sharp photos according to Robert O'Toole. Use Auto ISO on your camera
