My fiancé and I got on a lot of outdoor adventures, and we decided we needed to begin capturing our memories on something better than just our iPhones.
I also do a lot of wildlife watching and want to capture images of the critters I see so often - specifically fish, deer, elk.
I took basic photog class in high school but I'm a total been to DSLRs, and how forgotten the foundations anyway.
After some research I think I have an idea of what equipment we'll start with. I'm open to critiques and advice. I don't want to spend more than $1200 on the starter kit, so this is where I'm at now:
Nikon D5300 DSLR Kit with 18-55 AF-S VR lens.
Wildlife lens: 70-300 mm AF-S VR
Seems like a good basic setup for starting out.
I have more research to do so please let me know if you'd steer me another route. Seems like the next step up for a telephoto lens in the Nikon world is $1500+ which is beyond my budget but I'm open to suggestions.
