[QUOTE="rellison8, post: 215006, member: 17610"] Yeah, I learned that yesterday while taking some pics of the family. I started with the wide angle lens but one of the shots we were trying to get was over water while we were standing on a dock and I just couldn't get close enough with the 18-55 lens so I switched to the 55-330 and took the pics with it. The lighting ended up being really crappy in those shots so they didn't turn out well at all. Was kind of a thin low cloud layer then you would be in and out of sun and shade and it just couldn't make up its mind and made it hard to get settings the way I wanted them. So we moved to a different area where the sun was more to the side of us and they came out better for my first real use of the camera. Lots to learn but just starting off I think some of them turned out pretty well. Here is one I took with the 55-300 lens standing on a rock jettie with the remote and tripod.
