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 ?

I've buried myself in snowbanks enough times to carry a blaze orange "please don't shoot the suspicious lump" flag as standard gear in the winter. I've also found that setting up a comfy chair just off the beaten path and taking a short nap is a good way to get smaller wildlife to approach you.

(Not recommended in bear country or anywhere without people around frequently. Do not get eaten. Strongly hinders your photo output.)
