Hi, my name, (and i am sure it is posted somewhere on this message,,,so you already know)
is Rich nelson, played a bit here and there throughout my life with photography but never really got into it as much as the last year, I went from a canon digital Power shot SX1 is (not a bad camera for family shots at christmas.. ) to a Nikon D5200 with about 8-10 lenses.
I know can not control myself, I stop in roads, everywhere i go,,,causing irritable wife syndrome. So I bought her a D3200.
This is my first Dslr and, love it.
I guess I am probably going through the normal growing pains, but enjoying every minute of it, Wildlife, mainly Eagles or any flying object has quickly become a fascination. So has silhouette shots.
I will ask some questions you all have heard 100's of times, just want to learn and enjoy other peoples art.
I just purchased a Tamron 70-200 mm 2.8 and am a bit irritated with it, the focusing is slower than if I where to manually focus, does anyone that has this lens have any suggestions or comments on this lens, optically it is awesome, but sometimes hunts and then just gives up. I bought used from a professional studio photographer, and i trusted his word when he said that it was just a "Tad" slower than the Nikon version.
Great price, but second guessing the purchase. I had been advised to go for the Tamron over the Sigma if i could not go Nikon, I have a Sigma 150-500 mm and love it.
OK, I tend to ramble,,,if you had not noticed...
I am looking forward to taking advantage of all of your knowledge, and maybe,,,just maybe i can help someone somewhere,,,somehow...(hope I am doing all this right, never used a forum such as this before, facebook and regular email,,,I am a bit old to start on this new adventure, but,,,,I did not see an age requirement)
Peace,
Rich Nelson
