A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How do the professional wild life photographers take such sharp photos that look almost borderline fake?

It’s all about the setup and glass. Being as close as you can be while maintaining ethics. Then, taking thousands of photos until you get that 1 perfect (in your opinion) photo. Wildlife photographers spend weeks/months/years photographing specific species. When you think of a week vacation, they are spending 7 days sitting in a snowy field eating beef jerky and granola bars waiting for an elusive snow leopard, and hiring sherpas to help pack in base camp.
