Photographing small animals can be tricky. In comparison to big game animals, with small creatures you must get much closer to get a full frame image. Often you have to sit in blinds for hours, sometimes days, with a long lens and wait until the animal is close enough to get a shot. Since I [...]
A friend asked me recently about lens choices for a digital camera — what to bring along on her trip to Asia. She was concerned about not only weight but having to do too much changing of lenses while shooting. Airline restrictions have made the task of paring your carry-on gear into rocket science. It [...]
