I am looking at supplementing my birdwatching by taking photos of birds and
their habitats. I appreciate that it will take quite some time to become
proficient, however, I am looking forward to the challenge.
I am new to this and would appreciate advice and comments as what sort of
camera and lens I should be looking at. What brands are better than others?
I am prepared to pay for a decent camera but the sky is not the limit!
What sort of film should I be using? ie speed, prints, slides, etc.
Are digital cameras worth looking at yet as I would like to store some of
the better photos on my PC? Is a good colour scanner capable of scanning
photos and/or slides a better proposition?
Also any books and publications that can be recommended to help learn about
the subject as well as anyone I can speak to or courses that are run. I
live in Newcastle NSW but go to Sydney quite frequently for work so I can
utilise either place.
I look forward to any responses and comments.
