Thanks again Mike for your suggestions. Very Helpful!

The lens that came with the camera is 18-55mm and the zoom is 75-300mm. So I have a bit of a gap, but the 80mm setting works pretty well with the space I have, so I think I'm good for now.

Couple more basic questions if you don't mind. Pardon me if you've answered these questions a hundred times.

Should I set the camera on the aperture priority setting and at what aperture? I have a Canon Rebel and the lowest it will go is 4.0.

What is the best ISO?

I've been using a tripod, but I don't have the remote to release the shutter. I guess that would be a good investment.
