80 Photography for the Sportsman Naturalist 



allow us the time to set up and focus with a tripod 

 instrument 



The accompanying photographs, which I have 

 used to illustrate this chapter, have been made 

 expressly for this volume, with the idea of clearly 

 showing the comparative advantage of a telephoto 

 lens over an ordinary one. That this advantage is 

 great I think no one can deny, and no one who has 

 ever used a telephoto in nature work will dispute 

 me, I feel sure, when I say that, next to the reflex 

 type of camera, it is the one appliance that has done 

 more than anything else toward making possible 

 much that has been accomplished in nature pho- 

 tography. Therefore, no nature worker's outfit 

 is entirely complete without one.
