What an awesome invention. With this device (or similar remotes), you set your camera on a tripod or tree branch whatever, place it anywhere in your yard, sit anywhere in your yard, or even in your house, and fire the camera.
I used a wireless remote shutter release to capture the images below. I set the camera on a tripod just feet away from the Bluebird box. I focused on the hole or entrance to the Bluebird box because the bird has to go through the hole right?
Right before the bird reached the house, I fired away with the remote shutter and walked away with dozens of cool shots.
The bird was a bit hesitant to go in the hole after first seeing the camera and tripod, but moments later it was back to business.
A big advantage to using this wireless remote is the flexibility it gives you. For instance, you can follow the Sun around your yard, you can change your backgrounds, you can grab different angles, get really close up etc.
