Awesome quality. What kind of camera & lens did you use? How far away were you?
I have a nikon d5100 with a 55-200 vr zoom lens but I have not been able to capture this kind of quality.
Thanks!

I too shoot alot and there is two things you can do to improve quality alot... First, the 5100 is on the low end of the small sensor market (APS-C), if you go fullsensor , maybe find a used 5D Mark II like I did its a completely new world that opens up...because the pixels are so much wider apart the photos are alot better.. plus you dont have that cropfactor to consider when choosing lenses... for ex a 50mm lens really is 50 mm and not 50 x 1,6....
But the MAIN thing you need to do is get rid of that lens....and what I would start with... ALL zoomlenses are a tradeoff for quality.. the best photos are always produced from a fixed lens, the more zoom the lens has more has to be compromized, and in your case with 55-200 wich is considered a "superzoom" the results are almost always dissapointing... Im not to familiar with Nikon but Im also guessing that this particular lens is not a fixed apperature lens with is also an issue when trying to get good results...
Ofcourse there are good zoomlenses like for ex the Canons L-series lenses... but they are very very expensive, often much more expensive than the camera itself.. |
