There was a hummingbird tree. Admittedly, the birds had no interest in sitting around to get their pictures taken, but the arrivals balanced the departures thus meaning that there was always at least one sitting there. I used a quarter of my phones memory, trying to get at least one to come out decent, but there wasn't even one of them where you could tell that there was a bird. Hell, in half of them it looked like the tree had only a dozen of so leaves. Of course, it doesn't help that if a picture goes over 100 KB in size, the phone won't send it anywhere, and the phone has no way to crop or resize it. I think that the main problem is the lens, though. A fisheye lens, or a low pixel count by themselves aren't that bad, but combining the two seems to result in a blur no matter how still the camera is. I suppose it's time to go buy one of those disposable digital cameras, take it apart, and try out some of those modifications I've read about. Well, the site called them modifications, but your pretty much building a new camera using the disposable as a cheap source of parts. Apparently, if you luck out on just what components were used, you can (with skilled effort) get a fairly professional end result. Hmm, on second thought I think I'll wait. I don't have anywhere I'd really want to do any soldering around here.
