Many photographers see telephoto lenses as just a way to get closer. True - there are definitely times when 'flighty' wildlife, inaccessible situations - risky and dangerous - circumvent simply 'getting there and close' with a shorter focal-length alternative. Telephoto lenses, though, are a whole lot more than most photographers ever touch upon. Possessed of a shallow depth-of-field and soft-focus characteristics, longer lenses hold the potential to deliver impressive portraiture and dramatic interpretations of a range of - otherwise - 'everyday' scenes and situations. This online photography course is designed specifically to have you learn and apply the full spectrum of optical benefits offered by telephoto lenses, making them a working part of your photographic repertoire.

What you will need:

• DSLR Camera or film camera with manual mode capability (If shooting film, you will need access to a scanner in order to digitize your work for upload to the TCI website)
• Medium to long focal-length lens(es) (e.g.  prime or zoom lenses in the range 70-200 mm and beyond)
• Computer with photo-processing software (e.g. Photoshop)
• A light but study tripod and/or monopod
