For retirement i was given a 70-400mm Sony G lens ( Nice really appreciate that) Presently I have been doing more landscape But I am hoping that when we got to Florida in Feb. to do some wildlife crocs and birds.Any advoce or comments are welcome
Welcome to BPN Karl!! Enjoy the forums, and looking forward to your participation. You can check ou the "Educational Resources" tab at the top of the page for lots of great info to read about bird / nature photography. Good luck in Florida!
Wow what a great site thanks all for the warm welcome. Lots of information here as well I am sure this will be a good year. Any thought on shooting eagles?
Hi Karl: Welcome aboard and congratulations on your retirement and your new toy. You'll find this site a great place for educational resources. You may wish to start looking in the "Eager to Learn" ETL forum, as well as the Educational Resources forum as mentioned.
If you do plan on heading this way in February, feel free to post in the Florida regional forum so that I can give you some ideas on places you may wish to visit and photograph during your visit.
Have a great year in 2012 full of new opportunties and adventures.
