Wildlife Photography in Algonquin Park
I remember on my first canoe trip with my friends, I was taking photos with my iPhone 3GS (a dinosaur), and although those photos will forever be cherished, they weren't that spectacular. I knew I would be going on many more trips, and so I decided to invest in the Canon Rebel T3. It's a nifty little camera that was great for someone like me who was new to using a DSLR camera. It came with the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II lens, and I also purchased the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Lens. Along with a tripod, and waterproof hard case, this was a big purchase for me as a 16 year old.. but I knew it would pay off. In Algonquin Provincial Park, one of the most elusive and rewarding animals to spot is a moose. I'm not sure if it's their size, or elegance that make them such a treat to see in the wild, but I'm always on the lookout for them when in Algonquin. I think what makes wildlife in Algonquin so much more special to see is that deep in the park, these creatures live their lives without the influence from humans like wildlife living closer to cities. To me, this is nature at it's finest.
Man those are some great shots! That moose is awesome!!
Thanks :) @cyberblock See ya on Tuesday!!
OMG your photos are amazing!!! They all are! I think I die, part fear but mostly excitement, to be able to be that close to a dear! They are breathtaking. There’s definitely something magical about being out in nature ❤️

I see the chipmunk! Cute!
Some photographers shoot portraits, some shoot animals-- you shoot animal portraits! I see there is a focus on the face, and you really capture the expressions. I love it.
Thank you :) @peacefulforest I really appreciate it!
Hello @photocontests I am wondering why after adding the #animalphotography tag, I did not receive an automated response indicating that I was entered into the contest? I'm seeing that people as of 1:20am are getting theirs. Sorry, but I just wanted to know if I was entered :) I'm new, and so I think I must have screwed up.

Beautiful pictures! I especially like the loon where it looks like she has some young hiding under her wings. Thanks for sharing.
