Hello Everyone
After going to this years Rolex 24 car race and lookng thru someones nice Nikon with 300mm lens on it i realized just how much i was missing. This has since sent me on a mission to become more educated about my photography. Speaking with my wife we have decided to set a limit of $1200 on a new camera and starter lens.
I realize i will have no clue what a camera of this level will be capable of but would like to have room to grow into it as I learn and take some photo classes. I was thinking of a camera with a 18-110mm lens for the main lens and then adding a 55mm to 300mm as a second lens. Am I going in the right direction??
Our main shooting arenas will be outdoor photography and motorsports. Also are there any good beginner reads to unravel some of the mysteries of photography that you could recommend.
Thanks
Jeff
