Hi Sarumbat, you mentioned in another post about putting up some pictures with your teleconversion lens, that would be brilliant, I thought I had better start a thread of my own, instead of hyjacking other peoples.
I'm wanting a camera for wildlife photography, but having a 3yr old son and a dog in tow, I cannot get close enough to get any decent pictures with the camera I have at the moment, as for birds I need to be close enough to poke them in the eye, so I need to be able to take pictures at a distance, so all the creatures great and small are unaware of our prescence, or at least a safe enough distance that they don't feel threatend by our presence. I'm wanting a set up that will zoom in nice and close to the subject with good sharp images.
So I would be ever so grateful if some of you could put up an image or two, and state what equipment they are using, ( older makes too, I can always buy second hand, I know of a dealers that takes part exchange and sells second hand stuff ) and the sort of distances they were taken at. Thanks ever so much.
There is a sufficiency in the world for man's need but not for man's greed.
Hi Bishy,
Sarum Bat answered your question on my thread "My Day" in case you missed it.
Cheers, Linda.

Hi Sparrow, yes I saw that, Sarumbat offered to put up some photos using the add on lense if I wanted, so I've said yes please, but thought I had better stop hyjacking your thread, it's a bit cheeky. especially when it was so sad, I feel a bit disrespectful of your poor little song thrush.
Yes, I'll do that for you. I will do some comparisons with no zoom, full zoom, extension lens etc and tell you how far away I am from the subjuct. I looked for information like that when I was researching cameras but I never quite found what I was looking for explained in layman's terms. I'll try and do it later today if I can or failing that I'll do it tomorrow. All we have to hope is that the photographs will show on the thread!!!
Best wishes,
Sarum Bat
There is something new to learn everyday...

Hi Sarumbat, thats brilliant thanks, yes I'm finding it all very confusing, not understanding all the jargon when it comes to cameras, I thought seeing what results people are getting with what would be a great help.
