Haha.... that's awesome you thought to use your binoculars and that you followed through and gave it a try! Is that photo of a raven taken with this method? You'll have to share some of theses photos with us! And maybe you'll earn enough Steem Dollars to buy a new camera! I'm new here also... just did my #introduceyourself post also! Check it out here if you like!
The raven was taken with the built in lens but the flycatcher photo at the bottom was taken through binoculars. I've posted a photo every day since January 1st and plan to do so every day for the whole year.
I have some money saved up with a bit more coming in to buy a camera soon, though I do hope that at some point it can help buy more gear, etc. :)
I'm sure with persistence and good quality content that you'll do well on this platform!
