My binoculars are with me
every time I’m photographing
wildlife. Their clarity and lack
of weight means they’re great
for finding subjects, but when
your subject is too distant to
photograph it’s also nice just
to watch sometimes.Telephoto lens
Most wildlife subjects are not particularly tolerant of people, so a
telephoto lens is essential. The high magnification also throws the
background out of focus, placing more emphasis on the subject.In this instance the trees in
the distance were shaded, so
exposing for the sunlit swan
