Try putting a bird feederclose to a window where you can take the pics through the window. That's how I take most of mine.
Hi Connie Lee...you can pick up a tripod (I bought myself a Gitzo for Christmas) or a stick like tripod,(I think it is a monopod) I use both because cameras are heavier. It seems I am starting a collection of cameras and all but one are Canon...the first one was a kodak easyshare and my last one a canon rebel..I basically like them all and I bring each one out to take photos once in a while...if you can get to a Walmart, you can try the camera out and return it within a month if it isn't what you want...check with your stores return policy but I love that and QVC is the same way.
i love all the informative people that visit here..i still use a 35mm camera, but thanks to technology, get them developed to a cd then put them on my computer, would love to get a digital, and thanks to all the advise, it just might make it a bit easier to choose!
The one Hanging feeder is close to house. Have showed pictures here Maddie Mae laying in window sill.The Other feeder is about 10 feet from house.reminds got to go put out suet Sherry My Brother uses tripod a lot. He still like film camera better.And his pictures are good-better then most people.But not into taking flower or bird pictures.Infact new house- no flowers at all
I have a Nikon D-40 and it takes the most amazing photos almost by itself. Very easy to use and not all that expensive. My husband is a professional photographer and he's always saying "I can't believe what great photos your camera takes!" LOL, he totally forgets that I'm the one taking the photos!
Mine is a Nikon Coolpix L100. It is several years old. With luck and a steady hand it takes clear photos, both as close ups and distance. I edit in Picassa. Plants are a lot easier than insects, birds and mammals to get a good photo. Patience is not one of my qualities. Those people who sit for hours in blinds to get a great critter photo are to be admired. I can't even sit in a nice warm house and wait next to the window for very long. Almost all my bird photos were taken through my dirty windows.
Name of my House Cleaning business is Yes I do Windows. last 4 windows to replace-dirt between sealed glass. But window by feeder is new. Maddie Mae can't wait until we can open them up again to lay in window well and watch-gold finches
Sherry same place for me. Brother has new house.But Wants NO flower-No Bird feeders. Might the King of CP Geeks. Program designer. But I wouldn't be in house with No flowers-even too old have to be containers only. And Love seeing the birds.
