I have been experimenting with my Bushnell 12mp trail cam by adapting a 2x lens from a pair of cheater glasses. The magnification lens allowed me to focus from 15 to 19 inches with the sweet spot of focus at 17 inches. This allowed me to capture all form of bird scenarios and using multiple types of food sources and containers to draw in the subjects. The trail cam actually has a 3 megapixel sensor that interpolates the image to 12 megapixel. Being this close, you end up using more of the pixel content on the subject giving it considerably more detail. This was a good start and my next move is to experiment with another trail cam with much higher resolution. Found one but have to order it and test it to see if everything they claim works with the modifications I am doing. Hope you enjoy the images. The motion detection trigger ends up shooting hundreds of images and then you just cull out the best showing natural poses. Sure beats sitting there all day to shoot something you might not see. Give this a try, it is incredibly fun and you will love the clarity you can squeak out of the lowly trail camera.
