Increases - use it to your advantage
For nature photographers, in particular an advantageShot with a Nikon digital camera these days is the magnification factor. Instead he chose an image sensor the same size of 35 mm, Nikon and most other manufacturers of digital SLR cameras, a sensor, to create smaller models than the standard 24x36mm frame of old movies. With a smaller sensor means that not all information on the left and right and up and down to capture the image. That sounds really bad ... but there is no reason to worrywhat is not covered because the show was adjusted so that is what you see visually what is recorded in a digital file.
The result is that the camera lens increases the magnification of all. Nikon zoom (depending on camera used) is 1.5 times. It 's a 300 mm lens is now extended up to 450mm. This is great news for wildlife photographers. The only drawback is that the wide-angle lens (17mm wide angle is that25.5 mm wide without. "However, landscape photographers are some options. I'll look into anything.
Choose the right lenses
Unfortunately you can not tell what to buy lenses, or "how to build the perfect camera system for nature." Again, it depends on the type of photo you want to meet your personal preferences and the market where you want the picture to sell.
The big advantage is that the NikonYou can use the old targets on your body. This allows more freedom of choice, which means that you can get amazing prices more affordable lenses shocking.
I'll give you an example. One of my favorite targets is a manual focus F4 300 mm fixed focal length since 1970. The cost is only $ 350 CAD (that is, it would be much cheaper in U.S. dollars) and the glass is still ED! Nikon has developed mainly ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass to offer pricise color correction optics. This special glass (not all Nikon lenses), the strong, clear high-resolution images necessary for the glory. Another advantage (at least for me, because I used to walk the animal world to find) is that it weighs less and packs.
Another example - the focus of the lens 1.4 (F1.4 fair! 50mm) sells for only $ 166 CAD (again, much less in U.S. dollars). It is actually a 80 mm on your body. This means that you have a good> 80 mm lens darker than the picture settings. And because the lenses Nikon has improved its 50 mm since its inception as a company (Nikon used to make a 50mm 1980 and all its institutions to the end), is one of the best lenses Nikon lot. And 'cheap, because 50 mm on a 35mm camera is a kind pooey. But on a 80mm camera or digital is wonderful. Edit

Nikkor 10.5 mm f2.8 fisheye: I never thought I could as a special lens so much. For more information, I wrote a short article on how to photograph nature with a fisheye lens in yourhttp:// www.naturestocklibrary.com/gallery/2472892
70 mm Nikkor 18-F/3.5-4.5G IF-ED AF-S DX Zoom - The aim is straight. I bought as a kit lens for a long time and is well served for the entire region. I wish I'd saved some money and bought a 2.8, which offers a wider range (like a 12mm to 25mm).
Tamron 17-35mm F2.8: This is a great goal, but alas, I bought a camera and digital zoom on my body, then it is notuseful for my photos now. Are on sale (with my point of view other than wide) and buy a 2.8 that a wider range, so I can have more to do with the planning landscape photography.
AF NIKKOR 50mm f/1.4D - It 's the same goal that I mentioned earlier. It 's small, has a low price, you can shoot in very dark, and a 80 mm on a digital camera. You really can not go wrong.
Nikon Nikkor 80-200mm ED AF Zoom f2.8D - is a great goalremains at 2.8 regardless of whether you shoot 80 or 200 mm. Turn, will increase it's actually a 300 mm zoom. Zoom are great because the focal length depending on where the subject is able to adapt. Not so great with people who are still far off (as can be seen here are), but really great for wildlife such as deer docile. It also has a macro function that works very well.
Nikkor 105 mm f/2.8D AF Micro, Micro or 105 for short - is probablyNikon macro lens is used more, probably because the objective to serve triple duty. First, there is a camera, macro-and you can photograph with a magnification of 1:1 (on a body-35), which means that each 24 x 36 mm, the object of filling. Second, a brief good general purpose telephoto lens. Third, it is also at least a fair picture, very reasonable (though it may increase withtoo much of a telephoto lens on a DSLR). Like this lens for macro photography.
Nikkor 300mm F4 Manual Focus - In a premium "lens" does not offer the flexibility of a zoom ... is still an ideal choice for the best results in your work. It 'the same goal that I mentioned earlier, since it only costs $ 350, is light and the fire is so smooth, is one of my favorite targets. I never leave home withoutit.
Nikkor 600 mm f5.6 manual focus ED glass - once again I paid much less for this purpose (which is actually a big 900 mm on a digital camera and also the famous Nikon ED glass), because it is an older model and manual focus. I spent $ 1599 USD - but believes that a new model of f was at least $ 5,000 to $ 25,000, depending on the attack. Some may argue about 5.6 attack is a bit 'too small f but I think the compression means of lenses with meWant to be a theme with some 900 mm wider 5.6 (2.8 would be good on a subject so far flat) pull. Although ... Topics closer to 2.8 is magical!
In the past, I have the Sigma 70-300mm 3:05 to 05:06 and 03:05 to 5:06 Tamron 200-400mm zoom, and both were more affordable, as I learned about the photograph used. I sold them because they use to pay for the glasses I have now.

Because I love and recommend manual focus
I used to be afraid of manual focusing. On most autofocus lenses, focus is small andmore difficult to manage ... Also, there's something really done simply for the camera with the emphasis of the work for you. I was afraid I could not move fast enough to react and move objects that was not as good as my camera with autofocus. Now I see the error of my ways.
For wild animals (or people) you want to ensure that the main theme of the eyes are in sharp focus. It will not be able to sell each image when the eyes are not the focus. If an object 10 meters in 2.8 and useAutofocus, the camera takes the object near the camera (usually the nose, cheeks, eyebrows ... or not the eye itself) to choose. An opening of 2.8 means that it is like a soft depth of field, the eyes are confused. The older (and cheap) lenses are manual focus ring to focus better than you've ever seen. I find it much easier to use manual lens on my 300mm F4-1970, when my new AF 80-200mm (with auto Focus function). Unfortuately, I find the focus ring to focus on new models a bit '... pooey but I wanted the bread of the case, because I think manual focus lenses Cup 1970 are the biggest things there!
basic rule for the subjects almost
It is already possible that your shutter speed should be at least equal to the distance of your goal. For example, you have to shoot at least 1/300th of a second, if you use a 300mmtighten> the lens or the image is really blurry. It is slightly larger than 300 mm shall be placed on a tripod (preferably with a ball for the work of wildlife) did. With magnification, you can probably get away with recording a 300 mm (450mm one on your digital) hand ... to 1/450th of a second or more ...) in a pinch ... But investing is a really good tripod ball better results when your goal is greater than 300 mm.
Back to the mating partyFocal plane shutter with very ... If you are currently shooting in P or in the car is a good idea to change the priority instead of closing. If you shoot with a 200mm to make sure that the version is 1 / 300 on the lack of magnification. All modern digital cameras will be the pair of opening the shutter. At the same time, the photograph on manual settings is always a good idea because they offer better control.
