Bird Photo Booth

You know me.  I love taking pictures - and what I most like to photograph is the natural world around me.  Landscapes are great.  But better still is sticking a macro lens on my DSLR and getting close.  Really close.

All well and good when I’m shooting leaves or flowers.  But my biggest photography frustration is not being able to get decent pictures of the birds I feed daily.  Even my tame robin is camera shy.  To photograph him and his friends, I’d need a zoom lens (don’t have one); and even then I’d have to creep up pretty close and exercise oodles of patience.

Imagine how excited I am, then, to discover a new Kickstarter project that will allow me to shoot stunning macro bird images with just my iPhone - no creeping required.  Bird Photo Booth is a beautiful bird feeder, modelled on a 1950s Land Camera, into which you pop your iPhone….then repair somewhere cosy to record video or snap images via a remote app.

I am beyond giddy at the possibilities this amazing invention opens up.  This is one project I’m backing for sure.  Please spread the word to every bird lover or photographer you know and let’s make sure this one becomes reality.
