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.

Since lens with high focal distance are generally not that fast and they need high shutter to freeze moving animals, how do they get light without addind too much gain an grain ?

You don’t need what you think you need. I have a fast telephoto, but I hang around at f/6.3-f/9 and almost never shoot wide open if I don’t have to. Bright, sunny days mean I can go with a 1.4x attached and shoot at ISO 100. Cameras these days are way better at higher ISO in regards to noise than they were in the past. High ISO can easily be your friend here. Crank it up. You might be surprised.
