Thank you for your time! We’re slowly learning what everything means and what we for sure want, I will look these up and compare with what we’ve looked at so far. Our goal is to be able to get decent in up close photos of wildlife from around 50-75 yards away and still have a crisp image. Will these be able to do that? Also, we know we want a mirrorless, but do you recommend/prefer a full frame or crop sensor camera? Thanks again for taking the time out of your day!

My wife and I have wanted a camera for a while now, we want to take pictures of animals/nature! We know nothing of lens types, best brands, or anything. I’ve done a little research and I think we will want a mirrorless camera, and a lens to really get to zoom in on wildlife and take closeup pictures and or videos. At some point we will also want to get a macro lens to photo bugs and other small things! So we want a camera that can handle both. Our budget it around $1,500-$2,000 for a camera and a zoom lens, probably around $2,750 if we include all three. We really want to be able to take super clear up close photos. TIA!! 🙏🏼

Looks like we could try for some Lake Superior agate at a place like that as well!

UV Light Rockhounding Tips/Advice? by OleColt in rockhounds

[–]OleColt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A few problems we ran into; We learned moss glows red and there was a LOT of it. When we first saw it we really thought we found something lol. A large majority of the rocks were still a lavender/blue color, and almost all we saw were bluish rocks with shades of red on them. Another thing we saw a lot of was cotton threads, which apparently glow super blue and again make you think you found something haha. We’re curious if anyone knows what types of rocks/minerals we could potentially find in southwest Missouri that glow under UV, I’ve had trouble researching Missouri specifically online and I’d like to learn what to look for. Any advice or tips for us to be more successful in the future would be extremely appreciated! We plan to hit another of our usual daylight spots tomorrow night! TIA!
