My wife has always been a pretty good race day/rugby day photographer. However, with shooting a lot lately she has wanted to take her game up a step or two.
Right now she is shooting with a D70 that she really likes with an assortment of lenses. She's getting pretty good with it, but what's messing with her is the issue of light. She shoots daylight a lot, but sometimes its just not right/enough.
She's deploying for seven months in mid-September, which means that she's gone for her birthday, Christmas, all of the major gift giving holidays. She doesn't want anything big or expensive sent to her in the suck, because what with all the sand, hadji's and thieves in her own unit, things tend to wander off all the time.
I need suggestions from you guys who shoot real high end. When she gets back she wants to start shooting at a higher level.
I was thinking of getting her a D300 body, maybe a couple more lenses (a fisheye would be cool) and a remote flash set up. Can you give me any suggestions?
Thanks
