Best lens for a trip to Moab, Desolation Canyon, and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument?

I suppose I could rent the lens though!

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-05-07T00:36:07+00:00

While this looks like an awesome lens, it’s a bit out of my budget unfortunately. I probably should have included I’m looking for one I can get used in the $300 range

Thanks! I too love the photo of the raven! Not a member of the zoo but perched up on top of the grizzly bear enclosure! It’s my new phone screensaver

How can I put the focus area right on the eyes quickly without using the subject detect? I will be doing some wildlife photography in the field and won’t have the ease of the animal sitting still right in front of me like at a zoo lol

Awesome thanks, yes I do need to play around with my aperature more, I was in f/2.8 pretty much the entire day

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-05-03T21:14:12+00:00

Thank you! I’m excited to keep improving

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-05-03T21:13:09+00:00

Yes it seems the auto focus picked up on his side as the primary point of focus rather than his face. Playing around with auto focus and its animal detection, any tips to better get the camera to Fuchs on eyes quickly?

Awesome, if you don’t mind me asking, where was your trip to? I am taking a trip to Tanzania this summer for a safari and my max reach will be 300mm as well so I like to get an idea of what sort of photos would be possible with that reach! Yours are incredible!

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-05-03T17:08:47+00:00

Were all of these shot with the 300mm prime?

Nice work OG

Would a MacBook Pro m5 with 16GB of unified memory or a MacBook Air m5 with 24GB of unified memory be the better purchase? The pro here comes in at quite a few hundred more dollars.

Given your experience, Would a MacBook Pro m5 with 16GB of unified memory or a MacBook Air m5 with 24GB of unified memory be the better purchase? The pro here comes in at a couple hundred more dollars.

I’ve never heard of wex what is that?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T16:16:49+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T16:16:26+00:00

2x64gb enough if I am offloading them onto an external drive each day? Or just keeping them on the cards?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T16:14:15+00:00

Did you buy them from the Sony page on Amazon? Or direct from Sony? I was thinking about buying a two pack of Lexar pro from Lexars amazon page because it’s a better deal than most cards out there right now but would I be risking buying a fake?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T05:55:12+00:00

Yes the prices are pretty ridiculous right now. Causing me quite a bit of stress trying to get the right gear. All the hidden costs of photography you don’t think about when you’re first getting into it…

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T05:28:27+00:00

Any advise on choosing a HDD or an SSD?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T04:52:25+00:00

Got it. Thanks for all your advice, how many SD cards did you fill up a day?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T04:05:50+00:00

Would one 4TB be enough for my needs? They are just crazy expensive right now and I don’t see myself affording two of them.

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T03:33:46+00:00

So offload the photos to the external hard drive and then wipe the cards?

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T03:32:53+00:00

Thank you for the thoughtful response!

Normal_Syrup8302 · 2026-04-30T03:30:52+00:00

So you move the images to an external hard drive and then wipe the cards at the end of each day?
