As I had a few moments to myself this morning, I finally unwrapped my birthday present and gave it a go. I’ll admit, it took me a few more seconds than I planned to work out how to attach it, but I got there…it really isn’t rocket science. As I’m just a beginner, this is a very basic viewfinder. It’s by Neewer and was about £25 from Amazon with mostly good reviews.
So I took it out into the garden to see if I could take any decent pics. In my defense, it was an overcast morning with a breeze. I was trying to do close up pics of flowers without a tripod or monopod. Lots of the morning pics have now been deleted!
I’ve attached a little Gallery to show some examples of images I took this morning.
So, on the plus side:
- I didn’t get wet knees lying in the grass!
- Less yoga-like poses needed to get up close to the flowers.
- Easy to assemble.
- Attachment swivels depending on the orientation of the image (I was a bit slow to suss this out!).
And the down sides:
- I ended up with very smudged glasses…
- Possibly more images were blurred, but that could just be due to newness and the conditions of the morning.
Overall though, I like my new toy!
