My GPS Camera Phone

At first glance, it may look like nothing, but loosen up a bit and look closer. I’d have put crosshairs in this image, but that would have given away the hidden animal’s identity. Have fun!

One of the Christmas gifts to the family was a pair of binoculars for each of us. We intend to use them on our trips to Paynes Prairie and other nature spots around town. We took them to a recent trip to the park to look at the birds and squirrels in the pine trees, when I was suddenly struck by the idea of shooting through them.

The process is simple. Point binoculars at subject. Focus on subject. Line up camera phone lens with either side of the binoculars and then shoot. The results are interesting and even a bit voyeuristic, but with a little more experimenting, I might be able to pull something worthwhile together. In the meantime, here’s a sample of the results.
