Disclaimer - I know very little about photography. Any stupid, ignorant comments made are made with the request for tolerance...
Hi,
I spend a great deal of time in the woods here in Quebec, Canada. I am looking to understand better what kind of equipment I would need to capture high quality photographic images of wildlife (deer, moose, bear, etc...) in their natural habitat. I am an avid hunter and take my 5.x megapixel sony digital camera with me, and have used it on occasion, but have been very underwhelmed by it's performance (ex. focuses on a twig rather than the animal; clarity and zoom doesn't match). I would not be looking to replace that camera on my hunting trip; but would more be looking to properly outfit myself and have the option only to take still images.
Development of these images would be another question, but I'm not prepared for that yet.. really looking for info specifically on the equipment needed to take the images (camera, bi-tripod, lenses, flash?, etc...)
Any advice would be appreciated, even if it's pointing to another reference.
thx,
