Jackalope,
As a fellow photographer, I will say that there are so many avenues that you can apply your craft, that it boggles the mind.
You'll find that everything that you've ever seen in your life, you'll want to see again, because you want a photo of it. Thousands of dollars of camera equipment does not make a person a photographer. A photographer sees the photo, before it's taken. It can be an expensive venture, but well worth it. 
I've only been doing this since '78...back in the film days. Man, am I glad to see the digital days.
You can tell if a photo is long range or not, by the depth of field in the photo.
Plus, good lighting and a quick shutter speed will help with not having a tripod.
The attached photos of the doe and her fawns are 225+ yards. You can see that the foreground and background are out of focus. That's due to a high shutter speed and a mid-range open aperture for light gathering. A manual setting of a slower shutter speed, less opening of the aperture would give more depth of field, but would also require a tripod...given the same lighting.
There are an endless amount of possibilities with photography.

Some nice shots fellas. Nature photography is my favorite hobby. I've started with a Kodak box camera when I was doing a science project in 7th grade. I photographed robins building a nest, incubating the eggs and the four baby robins until they fledged. I used a pup tent as a blind to get as close as possible.
Birds still catch my interest today.

Not sure how I got those duplicates in my previous post, sorry.
I shoot quite a few insects, dragonflies, moths and flowers in the summer months.

We rang in the New Year on Hilton Head Island. Snapped a shot of this adult Brown Pelican while having dinner on the waterfront.

A big bald eagle just down the road from the house this morning, about 10 minutes ago.
This is another cellphone photo of mine, also taken just down the road last year roughly the same time of the year.
It's pretty cool to see these big beautiful birds in the area.

Took the camera outside Sunday to shoot some micro shots to play with focus and aperture. Besides learning the camera the goal was to take some shots that can be framed and used for next winter decorations in the house.
