Quick Summary

Telephotography is the process of photographing distant objects, typically using a camera equipped with a telephoto lens. A telephotograph is the resulting photograph taken with such a lens. The term "telephotographic" describes anything related to this process. While the term "Telephoto" can also refer to apparatus for transmitting photographs electrically, the core concept of telephotography is capturing images of faraway subjects. This technique is a specialized application within the broader field of optics and photography, which involves various optical systems and detectors like photographic film or electronic sensors to capture and record images.12345
