My Modern Met contains a collection of beautiful bird photos taken by a woman who set up a feeder camera in her backyard. To see the images, click on the image:
These are the details, and then I'll show you my favorites photos.
Lisa Ostdrossel (aka Ostdrossel) is fascinated by feathered friends. She has a clever setup that allows her close contact with them without scaring them. Her feeder cam allows her to remotely capture amazing pictures of many species while they eat delicious bird feed. Lisa's visitors don't know that they are being photographed, so they just let their personalities shine through for the camera. Two mourning doves are seen nuzzling their beaks, and there is also a shot of a few other birds that look like they are engaged in shouting matches. The most interesting images of single birds enjoying mid-day snacks are some of the best. Lisa's camera captured photos of a crow with a toothy smile and a large moth. How does a feeder camera work? Lisa shared her setup in a Tumblr post. She describes it as a camera box that looks a lot like a trail camera. It has a macro lens at the top and a regular lens at the bottom. She has also placed a shelf inside the box where she keeps a motion-sensor camera that takes 10 photos per second. The device snaps pictures when a bird lands in the bowl. The camera can take up to 7,000 pictures if it is active for the entire day. Lisa, however, doesnt mind. Lisa doesn't mind.
Here, she also sells calendars.
These are my top 6 favorite photos (6 of 21 available on the site; check em all), the first being the most hilarious. Corn dentures!
