I take a lot of pictures of my boys and their team mates riding and racing road and track bicycles. I currently have a Canon 60D with a kit 100-300 zoom and no tripod. I'd like to
upgrade the lens and buy a tripod this summer but am at a loss where to start. I see the tripod being purchased before any new lenses.
Lighting at the races is usually out doors during daylight in dry overcast to sunny conditions. I'm not sure what to budget for each purchase. I would rather wait and get the right equipment while I wait and learn with what I have than make bad purchases and have to replace what I get.
I'm not interested in making a living in photography, just having fun and developing my skills for now. There is quite a difference in price between mid level to high end tripods and heads, not to mention the differences in lens prices.
I should add I use my zoom lens far more than the 50mm, but I use both. I can see where more zoom would be helpful as well.
