or anyone else with experience in motion photography.

 

I know Arsen had a thread about getting a new camera and I could have posted there, but I'm actually looking for a bit more info than just about a camera.

 

I want to get into doing some amateur photography and I'm wondering what I really need to get started. I want to do some nature photography, leaning more towards animals in motion, and possibly doing some photography at the grandkid's games. I know there's a lot of high dollar high tech equipment out there and I could drop thousands, but what do I really need to know when buying equipment?

 

I would like to keep it around a grand, with any bags, stands etc I need at least to start with, but also a platform I can expand off of if I decide I want to do this more. I don't know if it's possible in that price range, but any info you have would be greatly appreciated.

Here is a good general package for someone getting into photography that should keep you buys for a while for about a 1000 dollars...

 

Nikon D3300 24.2 MP CMOS Digital SLR with AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6G VR II Zoom Lens (Black)ir?t=carolhuddl-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00HQ4W1Q

 

Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD for Nikon Digital SLR Camerasir?t=carolhuddl-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B003YH9DZ

 

The Nikon d3300 is getting great reviews and should last you for several years. It has 3d tracking which helps maintain focus while shooting moving subjects. The 18-55 lens it comes withis a good wide angle to normal zoom for just taking pictures around the house or landscapes.

 

The Tamron 70-300 is what you would use for nature or outdoor games. It will get you zoomed in tight enough to keep you happy. 300mm is what I shoot most Panthers games at.

 

You may want a tripod eventually but it really isn't needed for what you want to do. I pull out a tripod maybe 3 times a year.

 

So for a grand that is probably the most bang for the buck.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
