This week I talk about what constitutes a telephoto lens, touch on some general applications, the difficulties we face when using medium to super-telephoto lenses and introduce some advice and techniques to help overcome these difficulties.
As usual I have a number of real-world examples of my results when using a super-telephoto lens. Next week I'll be following on from this episode, talking about Extenders as Canon terms them, or Teleconverters and extension tubes. These allow you to increase the focal length of your lenses relatively cheaply, but, at a cost. Tune in next week to find out more.
Check out the Wimberley Head that I use primarily for long lenses when using a tripod here: http://www.tripodhead.com/
Here is a link to an online Depth-of-Field calculator to have a play with and see the relationship between the focal length, aperture, distance to subject and size of the film or sensor: http://www.dofmaster.com/dofjs.html
