Thanks for the great advice. I've already been shooting Christenings, Birthdays and Weddings for friends. (The Wedding had it's own photographer I was just doing it so they could have photos sooner as waiting for a professional to edit them takes a long time). I plan to keep doing that and see where it goes.

Ok here's on that has more subject and less dead space.

Oops didn't mean to upload both, but since they're already there.

Thanks. I agree about that. I still haven't entirely got my hands around photo editing yet. All I pretty much do is adjust a brightness/contrast. I still haven't worked out how to crop lol.

Cool thanks for that.

This was taken at Hervey Bay QLD Australia.

Here is a shot I took recently that I quite like. What are your thoughts?

So nobody has used the "Bean Bag" tripod?

I have the Sigma 50-500 and it's a great lens. You can get some great candid shots with it.

I've also ordered a Sigma 150mm lens and a Kenko 2 x converter (I like Prime lenses too) to test out.

I tried to add a photo I took with the Sigma so you can see what it's like but I don't know if it worked.

Ok, I got it, this first photo is a photo of a Dingo I took with the Sigma 50-500

This 2nd one is an action shot taken with the same lens.

I have the Sigma 50-500mm and it's a great lens, well worth the money.

I've also ordered a Kenko 2 x teleconverter (As well as Sigma 150mm macro) which I want to test out.

When the items arrive I'll let you know how it goes with the different lenses.

I also have the Nikon 70-300mm lens so I'll test it with that and take some shots.

Has anyone used a "bean bag" support when shooting. I've been thinking of getting one as quick resort "tripod" to rest on rocks, non-linear items. I was wondering what peoples thoughts are on it. Could I just use those heat "wheat packs" you get at the chemist? Are the camera specific ones a lot better?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
 

I hate updated so soon after they released a model and I bought the earlier model dammit!
