Thanks Gents. I'm going to pull the trigger on it. Couple other questions for you.
Darren: I wasnt sure which lens you were referring that you liked? The Canon or Sigma?
I rented the Canon a couple years ago, and really liked it for a walk around lens.
SD Cards what speed would you recommend for transfer rates? I was looking at the Sandisk Extreme and Extreme Pro they are 80 and 95mb/s.

I have it on order! Wont get it until next Wednesday , now the wait. I have the Sigma 10-20 uber wide angle. It seems to be a very nice lens. I have some pictures I took recently. I'll need to see how well I did, and how they turned out.

I have several cameras from a 5DIII to a XS Rebel, my two favorite models are the 7D and the XS Rebel. One for shooting landscape and one for a carry around.

I think I'll like the Flip screen and on the 70d it has a touchscreen! I'm your typical consumer give me bells and whistles and flashing lights, lol.

I usually like the bells and whistles also, except for when it comes to camera equipment, then I am old school. It took me for ever to move to digital and I am a younger (40) professional.

I must say, beautiful pictures gents. I recently picked up photography and have been soaking up the knowledge from everywhere. I've had a chance to practice some shots, My buddy even asked me to shoot his proposal! So honored...
I still have a lot to learn but dang it's so much fun to see good pictures turn out.
What do y'all think? Shooting with a Nikon D5300. Shots were either taken with a 55-200 f4.6, or 35 1.4.

Thanks you! Any tips on getting a crisper image from a distance? Such as the thunderbirds (severely cropped cuz they were so far away) and the proposal?
Was it just the capability of my lenses from that far away? Or was it the environment (I.e sunlight to shade capture -- couple was under an awning).
I'm hoping to get in a business like yours as a side business. I love photography and need as much help as I can get.
Thanks for the input Ben!

To get pictures from a distance you need stability. A little shake may not show up in a close image but it will in a long distance image. When I shoot football I use a monopod even during the day. Many lenses have IS (image stabilization) built in. This will help but you may still need a stable camera with longer distances.
As for lighting, use fill flash, even during the day. Remember photography is basically the capture of light. For even better results or the most part, it's the location of the light that is most important. By getting your flash off-camera, your images become more three-dimensional, more textural and more professional looking. The big difference in professional images and others is the professionals know how to use off camera lighting.
