- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
I have read through tons of the forums on this subject and cannot seem to get exactly what I am looking for so I wanted to start a topic and see what sort of advice I can get.
I got a Canon T3i as a Christmas gift with the 18/55mm kit lens. It has treated me great for what I need it for (leisure photography). I do notice though that I am really limited on the shots I can get (close ups are just ok, and far away shots just arent possible). I cannot decide between the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4.0-5.6 IS II Telephoto Lens and the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 IS USM Telephoto Lens. These lenses would probably be used for long distance shots of animals that I enjoy doing. I was also looking into the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II for close up/macro shots. Would any of these be good for night sky photography? If not can someone suggest one?
So as you can tell by the lenses I have a low budget but want to get the best out of my photography. I mostly like to shoot landscape, nature (trees and streams), as well as animals if I can catch them on camera and also night star photography. That should cover the lenses I was looking at. I was also curious as to whether a 10/22mm lens may be good for what I like to do.
Thanks. Peace.
