Hello Everyone,
I am a long time mac fan and a soon to be owner of a new 2011 13" Macbook Air. When I was a teenager I used to love taking pictures of wildlife. Being a little older now and having a little more money, I find myself wanting to get back into my old hobby. So I have a couple of questions.
1. I've used iPhoto a lot for my photo collection and minor edits on photos. However, I want a program that will be easy to learn and that has some good editing tools. I have a 100 iTunes gift card and am considering Aperature. Is this a good program for your amature photographer?
2. What would be a good camera for HIGH quality pictures. Since I want to do wildlife photos, I would want something with a good range. My budget is roughly 500 for a camera, give or take a 100 if need be.
3. Any other advice?
Thanks
