FOR PORTRAITS A wide-angle lens (around 18 mm) lens captures a wider angle of view, so more of your subject’s surroundings will be included. A telephoto lens (over 70 mm) or fixed portrait lens (50 mm) will capture a more close-up view of your subject for a sharper focus and slightly blurred background.
FOR WILDLIFE Be quiet and ready with your camera to take a series of photos to capture the animals’ natural behavior and quick movement. A fast zoom lens is also useful for those animals that remain at a safe distance.
YOUR MIND’S EYE Always remember to put your camera down and absorb the incredible beauty of the polar regions before you start.
