Title: Bigger is better
Post by: peternap on June 09, 2012, 10:20:38 PM
I was beginning to wonder if I was going to have to take up selling pencils on the street corner because my vision just decides to go without much notice. I can make up for it some on the computer by magnifying everything but I had no idea what I was going to do about using a camera.

Bought this and it works like a charm:

The first thing I did was video a Dragon Fly. This is a frame grab:

Wow, that is a great picture of the dragonfly!  Sorry to hear about your vision getting so much worse.  Looks like that is a pretty good solution.

My vision is getting worse, guess just frm age  ::)  I need to get back to the eye doc as a couple years ago he told me I had cataracts - my night vision is not very good...

Cool accessory.  I noticed the need for reading glasses sometimes but even that is a bit of a pain sometimes.  Hope things continue working for you, Peter.

Great picture Peter.  Yeah it seems that the Golden Years and failing eyesight have something in common.  Couldn't get by without a magnifing lamp to get serious sometimes.    ;D

Yep...not much fun John! >:(

I did go to the farm this weekend. It's been nearly a month and things have grown up. I got some cleaning up done before my glucose dumped....I did pull the cards on my game cameras though.

There are over 4000 pictures and there isn't a chance of looking at even a small percentage now but I did see the first fawn of the season.
