A little telephoto once in a while is fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Too much telephoto all the time tends to tire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went through a phase in the mid-1990s when I had a Nikon N90s and a Nikkor AF 80-200mm, that made telephoto views too easy. Sometimes looking back at that period, I wished I’d backed off a bit more often.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These days my telephoto use is descretionary and selective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had only a few minutes to frame up a photograph at the curve at the west end of gap. This place cries out for a telephoto, so I made this view with my Z7-II with 70-200mm zoom set at its maximum focal length (200mm).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
