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 ?

Everyone here is going on about fast lenses but, while I’m no professional, I literally use a kit lens. At 250mm its biggest is 5.6. When I’m shooting birds or animals I just go auto iso on manual setting and don’t go above 1600 iso on my canon rebel t7.

I’m not getting anything that’s far away and needs a lot of crop, but outside of that it’s not really an issue.

These are some great shots! I've been pondering getting a tele so I can shoot wildlife and seeing such nice results with a kit lens convinced me I don't need to spend a ton for the faster kits.
