If there’s one question fledgling photographers often ask, it’s “How did you get such a nice background?” Backgrounds are an essential element of a photograph that are often neglected. In fact, it’s safe to say that a background is as important to a composition as the subject itself. After all, a distracting one will detract from an image.
In this guide, we’re going to cover the many methods used to capture clean, smooth backgrounds in our images. This will encompass the settings and gear involved as well as the in-the-field techniques you can

It often leads to the question of how a photographer can bridge that gap.

When choosing binoculars or scopes, a term that should be heavily considered is exit pupil. What is exit pupil, and what does it do? We're often focused on magnification and light gathering capabilities in optics, and these are essential for understanding how optics works, but overall viewing experience shouldn't be discounted.
If you look at any optic at arm's length, you'll see the small pinpoint sized window of light in the center of the eyepiece. Try this with various magnifications, and you'll likely notice a difference in the size of
