<p>Hi!<br>

I just became a certified tour guide/tour director and would love to work for a company that leads primarily international wildlife/nature centered photo expeditions. Most that I have found are family or individual run companies that do all of the guiding and accompany each trip themselves. Does anybody have contact information or experience with companies who hire additional super friendly, enthusiastic, photo savvy guides for their adventures?<br>

Thank you! <br>

<p>Thank you Bob, John and Robert,<br>

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge, you answered questions I didn't even know I needed answered, thank you, thank you, thank you!</p>

<p>Wow, that would be a dream job, how can I get to do that? Thanks for the video :)</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

I am trying to break in to having a photography business and am trying to figure out how to "earn my stripes" and show potential clients that I have skills and am worth checking out. Would entering competitions and applying to exhibitions at conferences and stuff help build a reputation?</p>

<p> </p>

<p>Interesting as I was contemplating how to become a "personal photographer" for individuals or families who travel the world, but don't know how to get those shots that don't cut somebody's head off, or just don't want to be bothered with documenting all of the adventures and sights on the trip. Pay my way and a per diem, you get the memories of a lifetime captured by a friendly photographer :)<br>

Granted this would be a dream job, but I wonder if wealthy travelers would consider it?</p>

<p>Hello,<br>

I know this is very similar to a few recent posts, but I would still appreciate your advice.<br>

I currently have 2 40D bodies, an EF 100 - 400/1:4.5 -5.6 L IS, EF 70-300/1:4 - 5.6 IS and an EF 28-135(came with kit).<br>

My primary interest: wildlife, I aspire to be awesome at capturing all wildlife including birds in flight :)<br>

The 40D is my first DSLR, and I love it. I am self teaching and I haven't been published or done exhibitions or competitions, yet, however publishing is first on my list of what I would like to accomplish.<br>

Questions: I am amazed by the images I've seen coming from my friend's 5DmkII, however I've been reading that the 5DmkII has poor(relative term) autofocus and fps capabilities. Thinking of past experiences watching a cheetah chase and catch an impala through high grass the same basic color as both the chasing and the chased, raises concerns. Is the 5DmkII a viable option for successful wildlife photography?<br>

1DmkIV, having a hard time figuring out how to afford this system, but would it be worth the investment, to have one for all future photography situations, including wildlife, with it's "better" af capabilities? Is it too soon to purchase this new release, would it be better to wait for problems to be washed out first?<br>

7D, is it a better choice than the 5D, for high speed wildlife photography?<br>

Overall, is it worth stepping up from a 40D to new system plus a couple of new lenses, or would more and better lenses be a better investment?<br>

Thank you in advance. </p>
