I shoot with the Rebel XTi that I bought a little over a year ago. I love birding and I love bird photography even more... in fact, I can't go birding any more without my camera!
I'm 17 years old, and a Sr in High School. I'm about to go off to college -entirely funded by myself, and I was wondering if someone could help me.
This is what I have:
*An old aluminum Silk Tripod, w/ a tall ballhead (the ones that look like videogame joysticks)
*Canon Rebel XTi
*18-55mm lens
*100-400mm lens
*1.4 tele-extender
*2.0 tele-extender
* 2 ancient accessory flashes
*an ancient monopod (I can't find the brand)
*2 cases
*1 battery
*1 "2 Gb Memory card"
*various bird calls (Turkey, goose, duck, crow, owl, and Red-tail hawk):D
and a very thurough understanding of North American birds and how to identify them... thurough for a 17-year old anyway!
What else should I get, and where? I am only able to get a bit of money from the zoo where I work, but I can get whatever I need... it just takes a bit of doing.
1.)I was wondering what else I might want to get, on a students salary?
2.) I love insects, and was wondering, if I get an extension tube set, if I could stack them, along with my extender(s) on to my 18-55mm? I can NOT put the extenders onto the 18-55mm as it is now.:confused:
If anyone would please help me, I'd apreciate it so much! If you'd like to see my work (am I allowed to say this?) check out my website fallofthewild.com and click on "photographs"
