Flirting With the Telephoto Perspective


We had yellow tulips around the house for Easter. Is that too cliché? I really don't care, thank you very much. They stayed fresh for quite a while but were even photogenic as they started to fade. Lately, I've really been enjoying photographing with the Olympus Stylus 1 with its 300 mm equivalent telephoto reach. Now that is something most phone cameras can't do. It is fun just zooming in to see what you can isolate in the frame even if you don't click the shutter. Normally, I tend to shoot in the 28 to 135 mm range, with 35 mm to 100 mm being my great preference, so working at 300 mm is a real treat. What is your comfort zone, focal length-wise?
