Wildlife Photography Advice and Gear Guide is Posted at Adorama

New York, NY (PRWEB) October 23, 2006 -– In its ongoing efforts to educate photographers and help them improve their skills, Adorama has just published “Wildlife Service: Beyond Long Lenses,” a comprehensive guide to the the gear photographers need to achieve pro-quality images of creatures in the wild (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=academy&article=102306&refby=press_wildlife). The article appears starting today on Adorama’s online magazine, the Adorama Academy (http://www.adorama.com/catalog.tpl?op=academy&refby=press_wildlife).

“The advent of digital SLRs has made life easier for the wildlife photographer,” notes author Bob Atkins. Smaller-than-35mm imaging sensors turn moderate telephoto lenses into effectively longer lenses, and this means digital photographers can buy shorter lenses and save money but still get the magnification they need. In the article, Atkins explains how digital photographers can benefit from this and other innovations such as Image Stabilization.

In the article, Atkins also describes other options for wildlife photographers, such as using tele-extenders and digiscoping (attaching compact digital cameras to spotting scopes used by birders) and why these options will likely produce inferior results.

“Thanks to Bob’s background in optical engineering, he will give you sold, scientifically-backed information that cuts through the PR and advertising, so readers can make an informed buying decision,” notes Adorama Academy editor Mason Resnick.

The article is part of Adorama’s ongoing efforts to help consumers improve their photography. With DSLR sales increasing rapidly thanks to lowering prices and attractive features, more and more consumers will need to learn how to operate and maintain their cameras; Adorama is addressing this need with its Adorama Academy, an on-line resource for photographers at all levels, from snapshooters to professionals.

Online photo magazine at a retail site?

The Adorama Academy, which is quickly becoming a choice destination for photographers at all levels of experience who want to improve their picture-taking and image-editing skills, features how-to photography articles, buying guides, and breaking news about the photography industry, written by a team of top photography experts.

Why would Adorama, a well-respected New York-based camera retailer, publish what is essentially an online photo magazine? Editor Mason Resnick says, "we believe the more information and knowledge we can provide, the more people will trust Adorama both as a reliable information source and as a place where they can feel comfortable buying their photographic gear."
