    Its not the Camera...

    Have you ever heard some one say, "Well, if I had a camera like yours then I too could take ....".

    These shots were taken with a $5.00 webcam, a long USB extension Cable, and an ounce or two of wild bird seed as bait.

    Next, set the PC to take a photograph every time there is movement, collect about two thousand small images and then spend an hour scanning them to find the best.

    Sometimes, it is not the camera, but the effort you put in that pays off. Like folks suggesting some people are just lucky, well, I beleive you got to make your own luck. These images may never earn me the big one, but they do show a variety of life forms that visited my seed box in the space of a couple of hours on a Sunny Sunday Afternoon.

    Very true. I remember seeing a quote from someone (?) that basically said that the harder they work, the luckier they get. Nice work!
