Looking fro Slight Upgrade
Hello everyone,
I am a relative beginner to photography and have been taking pictures of wildlife for the last few years. My current set up is a Canon EOS 50D with a Sigma 150-500mm F5-6.3. All shots have been handheld with no flash or monopod/tripod while hiking through local parks and preserves. I am on an extremely limited budget, and was thinking of the new Sigma 120-300 f2.8 with 1.4 & 2.0 teleconverters. Do you think that is an acceptable upgrade or am I going backwards?
To see some of my shots, visit my wildlife photo blog - http://deidam.wordpress.com/
The photos have gotten some attention locally and I have been donating photos to local groups to help them promote their parks. I've also been doing wildlife articles in the local newspaper (more free work... currently). I want to produce better photos to showcase, so any tips on equipment/techniques that can be passed along to a beginner would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Derrick Eidam
