New Gadgets and a Tufted Titmouse

My new birdfeeder camera takes photos with a very wide angle, giving them a fisheye effect. Add to that the distractions of the background, and I decided to crop the pictures rather drastically. (The background will improve when Lynn and her friend come and remount the camera.)

Advantages of this little camera include it being motion-activated and mounted on a birdfeeder. It captured some cute close-ups of this tufted titmouse.

In case you are wondering, the brand name of this item is Birdfy. I am still learning to use the app. 

After I cropped and then tried to edit down the distortion of the wide-angle lens, the images lost some of their sharpness. I find them amusing though. 

The third image is a photo taken the regular way. Fortunately, the tufted titmouse is not as shy as some birds, and does not fly off every time I move. I used my old Nikon for this one and it has a telephoto lens.

I took advantage of another newly-acquired item to get this image onto my iPad. It’s a camera card reader that has a connector that works with iPads and iPhones. Normally, I transfer SD cards to my laptop, but I have found it hard to use since having problems with my eyes. An advantage of the iPad is that I can easily move it closer so I don’t have to strain my eyes as much. Even with that they get tired quickly. I should probably rest my eyes a lot more. It’s hard to change old habits.
