I recently posted a closeup photo of an Eastern Bluebird on which many commented favorably. Bluebirds are not easy to photograph and I want you to know that I don't have Bluebirds landing on my shoulder to eat from my hand. In fact I was about 100 yards away when I shot those photos remotely.
I set up a tripod about 10 feet from the box and walked back up a hill to the car. I had watched the birds for hours and learned that they always landed on top of the box to scout for trouble before they fed their young in the box. So, I watched through binoculars to see the birds and I rigged a remotel fire switch to the top of my binoculars so I could still feel like I was taking the pictures. The remote switch allowed me to focus and fire. That's all. Sassy huh?
