I just got my -2 diopter from Amazon (the one linked earlier from Fuji) and popped it temporarily on with some elmers glue.
Here is a before shot:
and here it is after putting it on:
This is on a Logitech QuickCam Pro 9000. I am very happy with the results!
On another note, I was seeing the reflection of the silver ring around the lens on the window, so I grabbed a black sharpie and went to town. After it was all blacked out (not the lens
) I no longer saw the reflections. Have to test again on a brighter day.
Right now I am using Blue Iris to take a shot once a minute from just before sunrise to just after sunset, and save as an mp4. I am still working on how to easily publish this to the web, but for the time being I am just uploading it to youtube. Here is the video from yesterday where you can see the ring, and then I use the Sharpie at 12:14 (you can see my funny face upside down) and it disappears
