I need a longer zoom lens I think. In the first image it looks like I might have a smudge on my lens, and I need to clean it. The second is a cropped copy of the first. In that image you can kind of tell that they are birds, but that’s about it. I guess I could try and move closer, but that usually isn’t an option. My friend has been taking pictures with his iphone using his scope to get closer shots. I tried that once, but it didn’t go so well. I’ll have to try and print up an adapter or something to connect the phone and scope, so I can keep it in position.
