The best zoom money can buy

John Jacobsen

One of the best kept secrets in photography also happens to be the best zoom lens money can buy. I’m certainly not the first photographer to say this, but it bears repeating – When you think you’re close enough to the subject, take two steps forward!.

Getting closer will allow you to capture more detail, highlight your subject further, and often times, you will be rewarded with a photo that many others wouldn’t get.

The second image shows a much more intimate shot of the bee with a lot more detail than the first image. Next time you are out taking photos, give it a try. Frame up your subject and get your image properly exposed, and then take two steps forward and fire away!
