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 ?

fast pro lenses. Aside from large apertures the coatings and quality of glass add a hard to define extra vibrance to the shots.. sharpness, contrast etc

full frame sensors with good low light and noise performance

There are distinct advantages to the pro gear. Whether it justifies the cost depending on your use, is a different story. imo the majority of low-mid range gear does an excellent job for most applications.
