Telephoto lenses compress perspective so the elements in a scene appear closer together.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

Tele-photo. The title says it all, really \u2013 photos taken at a distance. That\u2019s what telephoto lenses do. They pull things in, magnify them, let you get up close and personal. For sport and nature photography, where your subject is usually some distance from the camera, telephoto lenses are invaluable because they allow you to fill the frame when getting physically closer isn\u2019t an option. But the fact that they allow you to be selective, and decide exactly what you want in a shot and what you don\u2019t, makes telephoto lenses handy for other subjects, too \u2013 subjects that you wouldn\u2019t naturally associate them with \u2013 like landscapes. They also have other characteristics over and above the power to magnify that you can use to creative effect.<\/p>\n

Any lens with an effective focal length longer than 50mm is considered a telephoto with digital SLRs and the longer that focal length is, the more the telephoto characteristics are emphasised. Moderate tele lenses from 70-300mm are ideal for landscape photography because they\u2019re not too powerful or big or heavy, but still give you the benefits of a telephoto \u2013 which is why there are zoom lenses covering this range. Beyond 300mm you\u2019ll probably find them a little too powerful, as you can\u2019t actually get much of a scene in the shot, though in some locations \u2018long toms\u2019 \u2013 as more powerful telephoto lenses are often called \u2013 can be invaluable and produce stunning results.<\/p>\n

This month\u2019s Top Tips will give you an idea of what can be achieved when you take a telephoto lens into the landscape. We hope you\u2019ll be inspired.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
