Assignment #322: Telephoto Landscapes

While grand, sweeping landscape scenes are generally shot with a wide-angle lens, a telephoto lens offers a different perspective by capturing frame-filling images of distant subjects. For this week’s assignment, put your telephoto to the test and capture some interesting landscape, nature or wildlife shots with longer focal lengths. Check out “Grand Landscapes, Intimate Details” for some inspiration, then submit your favorite captures by March 14.—Kristan Ashworth, Managing Editor
