A Monster 23-point, non-typical Whitetail Buck stands in a clover food-plot right at dusk. It was way darker than it looks in this photo, and it was all I could do to squeeze out all the sharpness I could out of my camera equipment in that low of light. Though the big fad nowadays is to use inexpensive, lightweight telephoto “super-zoom” lenses handheld, I don’t buy into this philosophy. I’m more of an old school, fixed focal length, fast aperture, prime lenses kind of photographer. Though very large, heavy, and expensive, these fast aperture lenses tend to give you the ability to shoot later in the day at dusk, or shoot earlier in the morning at dawn. Plus, these big lenses will blur out the background more, and tend to make the subject seem to pop off the background and appear 3-D. Most people see the size of my lenses and think that means they are real strong in magnification. But the size around they are just means they can allow much more light into the camera sensor and allow you to shoot with faster shutter speeds in lower light. Plus, handholding the super-zooms in a blind and with their lengthening front element zooming in and out of the window of the blind would not be a very good lens to use for the heavily hunted deer I usually photograph. When photographers are using these super-zooms, it usually means they are photographing deer that are pretty tolerant of humans, and are probably walking around with the deer. While I do photograph these sort of deer occasionally, most of the time I’m in a blind photographing hunted deer that are extremely, EXTREMELY SPOOKY, and would never let you walk around with them, or even within a quarter mile of them if they knew a human was anywhere near them!
