Here’s a selection of interesting articles and blog posts about photo gear and techniques:

1. Leopard Photographed at Night — example of wildlife photography at night without flash, relying on available light from a spotlight and the fast maximum aperture that’s available on today’s top-of-the-range telephoto zoom lenses like the Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM.

2. Telephoto Lenses are Essential for Wildlife Photography — sounds a bit like stating the obvious, but this is in fact a good overview of the types of telephoto lenses one should consider for wildlife photography and their main advantages and drawbacks.

3. A Wide Angle Lens is Indispensable — while you can sometimes get away without a telephoto lens in situations where it would be useful to have one, there are usually no workarounds in the case of wide angle lenses. Shots that require wide angle, because of the geographical features or space constraints, can’t be fudged using any other techniques. Is this sufficient justification to claim that a wide angle lens is “indispensable”? — you decide after reading the blog post.

4. Canon SLR Lenses and Deciphering Lens Codes — there are more than 60 Canon lenses available for Canon EOS digital SLR cameras. Which is right for your needs? It’s a daunting task trying to decipher the various letters and codes that Canon uses to differentiate the attributes of each of its lenses. This article is aimed at taking the mystery out of Canon’s identifying codes.
