Pros and Cons of long telephoto lenses – (continuation)
SECOND IMAGE – (Watch in full display for max quality)In this image, I have cropped the image in Lightroom to show that the subject is still sharply focused despite the extremely shallow DOF. To achieve this, it is essential to understand the impact of the chosen f/stop, the distance from the camera to the subject, and the lens’s focal length. There are many other essential camera settings, but that’s another discussion.
1/640sec – f/4 – ISO 500 – Nikon D5 – Card Door Mount for support.

About Me
Bruna Mentrup
TUTOR
I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
