Canon Powershot G12, Plants The Telephoto Lens September 22, 2011 Saguaro - Up Close There are times when a telephoto lens comes in handy, like images of a saguaro cactus. 🙂

Ken Bello September 22, 2011 at 2:24 pm Good idea using the telephoto o a subject like this. It sort of flattens it out and gives it a nice overall sharpness.
