A supertelephoto zoom lens is tremendously useful in a wide variety of genres, and in recent years, we have seen an influx of affordable, high-quality third-party options from companies like Sigma and Tamron.

Landscape photography is not my thing. I use it to exercise the fundamentals and have something to do when I need a break from the family on camping trips, but that’s the extent of it for me personally.

It’s hard to make your images not look like everyone else’s, especially when everyone has access to the same subject matter you do.

This excellent video discusses why being willing to stick it out can pay off with great images.
