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?

If you've never used a supertelephoto prime then you'll have a hard time believing just how good they are. The optical designs are incredibly sharp, offer fantastic contrast and colour reproduction, as well as having almost zero distortion.

And no, their photos don't look borderline fake.

Yeah, where does OP’s “borderline fake” jab come From?

My guess is that OP means the photos are so good, that they have to be staged or in captivity or something like that. In the right context, I would take it as a compliment. Like your photo is so good, it's unbelievable that it could come straight from a camera.

That’s the, “if I can’t do it, nobody can!” fallacy. Must be cheating somehow.
