Bempton Cliffs

[Ben M]

Hi, I'm going to Bempton cliffs tomorrow, and I'm taking my Canon EOS 1000D for its first proper outing. Unfortunately the only 2 lenses I have are a Tamron 90mm macro and a canon EFS 18 - 55mm lens. Obviously I'll have to go with the latter, but will it be any good for photographing birds? I might try a bit of landscape photography as well. I've been practising in the fields around my house and I've read about it, so I think I know what I'm doing.

Do you have any tips regarding the landscape and bird photography that I'll be doing tomorrow?

BTW, I don't own a tripod or any other equipment such as polarising lenses etc, but I'd like to invest in some in the near future (after the Mbuna project ).

cheers,
Ben

Any tips guys? I'll be going soon.

I'll upload some pics if I get some Ok ones.

cheers

The 18-55 will be fine for landscapes, but probably next to useless for birds. You might be able to get some reasonable bird shots with the 90mm if you can get close enough.

Thanks, I'll take both lenses and see how I get on.
