Thanks guys more to consider, I had seen the tamron but didn't know too much about it to be honest. Can that also be used on an FF body? Think I need to try the two side by side to make a fair comparison.

Thanks for your replys so think I will spend the extra and go 70-300 as I would like a FF body at some point down the line

Ok thanks I have a d3300 I would like to shoot things like birds in the garden on feeders in trees etc nothing at real distance but also something capable of taking a decent picture of say for example a plane at an air show, not the sort of thing for plane pictures on the side of a mountain in...

Hi Just wondered if someone can give me some advice on Which lens to look at, Its for a Nikon and the two I have been looking at are: AF-S VR 70-300 f/4.5-5.6G IF ED and the AF-S DX 55-300 F 4.5-5.6 G VR The first lens is nearly £200 more than the 55-300mm but trying to ascertain what the...

Thanks for the comments really good advice and I take it all on Board, Will keep shooting and see if the comments improve. Thanks all

Thanks Teflon Mike, at least there are some basics there to work on, I was trying not for everything to be slap bang in the middle but didn't give much thought to composition! I'll try not to get too hung up on pp and let the camera do most of the work on that side of it which sounds like good...

Yeah I don't take it to heart, if you don't get told where your going wrong you can never improve! Not that I'm trying to win any prizes or anything just want to take a decent photo! Thanks for your comments

Thanks for the comment, wow a lot to think on, this is only my 2nd week with the camera, I've been out as much as I can with it and I'm under no illusion I'm at the beginning of a very steep learning curve! I agree the background is pretty poor and In hindsight I should have probably come out a...

Just wanted some advice on what you think of these pics first is as shot, 2nd changing white balance etc. Is the edited version any good what is it lacking and what can I do?

Thanks for your comments buddy, the problem is with my antiquated laptop the software to edit the pics just takes so long to use and freezes things up. Think I'm stuck with mobile or I pad editing until I can bring myself to part with the cash to get a new pic

P.S They look a bit better on a smaller screen ;-)

These are a couple of pics I've altered from the original on LR mobile, can someone who knows what they are talking About tell me if the alterations are any good please? Ignore the images they are just testers to play around with

Thanks guys, I will have a look at the book, Ive been watching a few vid's on you tube which I have found helpful. I have fired up the lappy to see what I can do with the images and although it can handle RAW images and is just about capable, it is so slow and just too painful. I am at this...

Thanks mate appreciate the pointers

That's brilliant thanks for that I will have a look in to that. What about the exposure does it look ok?
