That’s what it often feels like when taking pictures at a hockey game. Every play is a blur. You can feel the game’s speed and intensity right up until the final whistle. Emotion and sweat mix on the faces of players who battle and fight for every inch, and the arena shakes with a thunderous ovation from the spectators.

The post Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 Review: The Most Versatile Wildlife Lens You Can Buy? appeared first on Digital Photography School. It was authored by Shreyas Yadav. Wildlife photography is as exciting as it is challenging.
