For almost three years I used a Canon 55-250mm (non-STM) lens for wildlife with my Canon T2i (550D) camera. With a relatively short maximum focal length it forced me to get creative to get closer to the wildlife. Now, I'm using a Canon T3i (600D) camera with a Tamron 150-600mm lens. It gets me pictures like this.

You could consider a Sigma 150-600mm lens also.

Those images are lovely, very impressive for a 150-600 from Tamron, how do you find the image stabilisation?

That's very interesting too that you chose that gear, I generally come to these forums when I'm feeling stuck about my gear or if I need some advice. At the moment it's just whether I should upgrade or switch up my settings to develop my photos.

On a different note, for anyone who owns a Canon DSLR that offers these 'Picture Style' options, is there a particular style I should stick to or should I keep switching them depending on the type of photos I'm taking?
