Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for your reply, I really appreciate the time and effort you have put it. Your reply is really informative, at the same time it doesn't have the slightest of sugar coating, the thing that I liked the most. I very well understand what you were trying to convey when you mentioned the "snow leopard in the back yard" thing and I don't find it harsh at all. Thanks you once again

Hello Guys, I am amateur photographer willing to peruse wildlife photography as a profession. I’m currently using a canon D600 (cropped sensor, 18MP) camera. I’m not sure if my current camera is good enough to start with as a professional wildlife photographer. Please suggest. Also, please suggest a lenses to that I should go for. Thanks in advance.

<p>Dear friends<br> <br /> I’m using a Canon D600 T3I with a EF-S 18-55 lens, which I got along with the camera at the time of purchase.<br /> I’m planning to buy a new lens and after some investigation of my own I have shortlisted the following (considering the fact that I love shooting landscape):<br /> <br /> Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM<br /> Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM<br /> <br /> My question is since the camera that I’m using is entry level DSLR is it advisable to invest on a lens considering the fact that the both <strong>lenses cost more than the camera</strong> (purchase price of the camera included camera and 2 lenses one EF-S 18-55 and one EF-S 55-250). Is the investment worth it and if so which one is better.<br /> <br /> I think I'll go for EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM since it has a image stabilizer and wider focal length range while Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM doesn’t have either of these 2, but a professional advise will certainly be great help.<br /> <br /> Thanks a lot</p>

<p>Hello Friends,<br> I’m an armature landscape photographer.<br> I’m using a cropped sensor camera Canon D600 T3I and it doesn’t have a distance ring on the lens.<br> Would someone be able to able to help me with the following?<br> 1- I have a application on my windows phone “Photo Caddie” to calculate the Hyper focal distance for a given F number , Focal length and Subject Distance. I’m not able to make out how to determine the subject distance when I’m shooting landscape and when my primary subject is a mountain on the horizon and the foreground has a river flowing down the mountain.<br> 2- After entering all the aforesaid details into the application I get the hyper focal distance but I’m not sure how to focus at that distance (say 3.91 feet) since I do not have a distance ring on my lens.<br> My camera has 9 auto focus points, should I select just one and try to focus on something that is roughly at the same distance (say 4 feet).<br> Thanks </p>
