Snapshot Adventure

The other day on his blog, Gary Crabbe posted a link to a Superman Returns online photography game where you try to make it onto the front pages of various newspapers. It was fun. My high score was a 112. My brother, Eric on the other hand annilhilated me though with a 147, 146 and two 145's!

Yesterday, I saw this game called Snapshot Adventure: Secret of Bird Island, that is kind of similar to the Superman game but is actually a bird photography game complete with a field guide journal and simulated camera birding equipment. I downloaded the free 1 hour trial and played about 15 minutes of it. It can be addicting so I forewarn you. I learned something new about birding actually in those 15 minutes. I had never heard of a "Life List" which apparently is a species count that birders add to a categorized list each time they photograph or see a new bird. I'd seen such lists on some bird photography websites but didn't realize that it was common practice to do so. I guess I need to redesign my Bird Photo gallery and start my own right now!

Here is a cardinal postcard that I took in Snapshot Adventure and emailed to myself thru the game:
