Lenses For Wildlife Photography
When it comes to selecting lenses for wildlife photography, the first thing most photographers look for is focal length—a long lens that can reach out and cover great distances, bringing animals in for close-ups—but other features are also incredibly useful.
Arctic Autumn
Cotton Grass, Edgeoya Island, Svalbard
Fall comes early to arctic Svalbard. At nearly 80 degrees north, just over 600 miles from the North Pole, summer is brief, and by late August new snow is already descending from the mountain summits and will soon blanket the tundra. I had the chance this past week to shoot this golden landscape, concentrating, as you must at this latitude, on things close to the ground. No surprise that I spent a lot of my time on my belly, when not out looking for polar bears out on the pack ice (see my earlier posts). Here are two of my favorite autumn shots, with more to come.
