The telephoto lens on my little Nikon camera sometimes surprises me. I use it a lot when taking photos of animals and birds and it can be tricky to keep steady when the lens if fully extended and it's hand-held. However, every now and then I'll get a good, clear shot like this one of a squirrel snacking on a prickly-pear fruit.
I can get even closer and I'm still far enough away that the little critter doesn't get intimidated by my presence. This little fellow just continued nibbling on its treat.
A very cooperative fellow.
ReplyDeleteYes, these are excellent pictures!
ReplyDeleteAmazing. The longest lens Nikon made for the series of camera I am using, is 300mm on APSC. I wish they made something longer - the line has been discontinued.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! A good telephoto or zoom lens is one thing that I miss when taking pictures with my phone. (Also a good macro.)
ReplyDeleteGreat captures and a very impressive phone photo.
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots, Sharon. It is interesting to see the variation in its fur.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos!
ReplyDeleteyou must have a very steady hand! I looked up your camera , i admire your photography so much, but I am sure that I could not take anything that was not an absolute blur. I wobble!

ReplyDeleteCamera capabilities are pretty amazing these days.
