Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8l IS II USM

Norwegian photographer and Canon Ambassador Audun Rikardsen says that Canon L-series lenses help him capture the majesty of nature in his photographs of whales during Norway’s polar night. “In the last few winters, hundreds of humpback whales have arrived at Tromsø in Northern Norway to feed on overwintering herring,” says Audun. “They come during polar night, where there’s no sun above the horizon, making the light and the weather conditions challenging. The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8l IS II USM is my favourite lens for photographing the whales during this period because of it robustness, large aperture and accurate focus during low-light conditions. It always delivers, even in the most challenging conditions!”
