Why I Use Medium and Wide-Angle Lenses for Wildlife

Close-up of Craig the super tusker (35mm) Wildlife photography is often associated with long lenses. A 400mm or 600mm lets you stay distant, frame tight, and avoid disturbing your subject. That approach works, and I still use it when the situation calls for it. But for me, some of the most meaningful images have come from working with wider focal lengths between 24mm and 200mm.
