Okay, I admit it, I’m not a wildlife photographer. I like photographing people, especially children, seniors and weddings! However, I thought it was about time for me stretch out capture some outdoor wildlife for my iPhone 365 Project.
However, if you’ve ever used an iPhone camera, you know its tiny lens is not designed to reach out and capture wildlife in the typical fashion. I normally recommend a 300mm or 400mm telephoto lens for people wanting to capture wildlife; unfortunately, the iPhone is much closer to a wide angle lens. So, that means I had to get very close to my wildlife subject to capture anything worth while.
I found some Mallard ducks this afternoon and plopped myself down with my humble camera phone. With some coaxing, I was able to get the ducks close enough for a few photos. I like the way many of them turned out and this is one of my favorites. But, I think it looks more like a Duck Portrait than a Wildlife Photograph! What do you think?
