Since lens with high focal distance are generally not that fast and they need high shutter to freeze moving animals, how do they get light without addind too much gain an grain ?

Everyone here is going on about fast lenses but, while I’m no professional, I literally use a kit lens. At 250mm its biggest is 5.6. When I’m shooting birds or animals I just go auto iso on manual setting and don’t go above 1600 iso on my canon rebel t7.
I’m not getting anything that’s far away and needs a lot of crop, but outside of that it’s not really an issue.
I’ve gotten some of my favorite photos with my trusty 80D and that lens! Now I’ve moved to the EOS R and 100-400 (basically the same reach). Loon pic one Loon pic two
I’m wondering about that too. Generally, you want to overexpose a little rather than under cause you can easily fix that in post.
You have to get the data so you can manipulate it.
great photos!
These are some great shots! I’ve been pondering getting a tele so I can shoot wildlife and seeing such nice results with a kit lens convinced me I don’t need to spend a ton for the faster kits.
Yeah for my part, if anything this duck wanted a narrower aperture - lost a lot of definition in the feathers - also taken with a kit lens
