Why a Telephoto Lens Might Be the Smartest Landscape Lens You're Not Using
I’ll be honest: for a long time I wrote off telephoto lenses for landscape work. My mental model was wide-angle or bust. Get close to the rocks, show the sweeping sky, fill the frame with drama. It wasn’t until I started stress-testing budget telephoto options for a comparison piece that I realized I’d been leaving a whole category of images on the table. Then I came across this William Patino tutorial, shot on the east coast of Australia at sunrise, and it reframed how I think about coastal photography entirely.
