Telephotos could usually be used when shooting sports, birds or wildlife photography. One of the best image stabilizers is a tripod. A tripod is a stationary platform for a camera to rest on. A lens could be defined by it’s mount, prime or zoom, series, focal lengths, and maximum apertures. While taking a photo with a DSLR, you can focus on the three main things.
