SNAP: Wildlife on the Trails

  • by

This week’s SNAP collection is a series of photos snapped while I was walking. Three were taken on the Erie Canal Trail, and the last one was taken from the pedestrian bridge over the Genesee River on my way to class last week. So technically, it’s not a trail.

I was amazed at how long the deer in the upper right photo stood looking at me while I snapped away on my iPhone. The photo on the bottom left was a really lovely scene, and it was another time when I wished I had had my big camera with me. Evidently the new iPhone 7 will have a much improved zoom capability, but I’m not planning on upgrading my phone anytime soon. The day I saw the blue heron, there was also an egret and a “line” of ducks perched on a log. The egret was too far away to photograph, and none of the duck photos was as sharp as I would have wished. Another problem with the iPhone when you’re trying to take a photo from a pretty good distance away.

Linking up with Helena and the other avid SNAPPERS.

    beautiful iages and wonderful what you can see when out walking. I agree the lack of zoom for distance shots is my biggest frustration with using my phone camera

    Very beautiful SNAP collection. Really like your deer photos. I usually get teary seeing wild deer – such a beautiful delicate creature.

    There was a blue heron on the creek by the walking trail this summer. Same spot every morning that I went by. I tried getting a photo with my iPhone5, but with the distance, it was crap. I now have the 6 (a work upgrade) but I haven’t taken it on a walk yet. I’m betting it isn’t much better. Your shots are great for an iPhone!
