There is a Face book site dedicated to the photos taken by an orang-utan called Nonja. She has a very simple camera (a beginner camera) that shoots out a reward every time she pushes the button.

She is quite the photographer. If an orang-utan can take some good photos, so can anyone.

They have cameras that can be mounted to helmets or bike handles. I think they can be adapted to be mounted on most things.

My idea is to mount one of these cameras to my dog’s collar. He has some interesting perspectives on things and it would be fun to see his view.

They have special harnesses to mount cameras on dolphins. I think it is a military idea but it inspires me to think of the amount of information we could get from a dolphin in the wild.

Imagine if we could see, through the lens, what animals think. It would be interesting to watch footage from a cat’s eye view. The cat is a secretive beast. She sits at home in front of the fire, looking relaxed, bored even, and yet the cat is the greatest threat to native birds and small mammals.

It would be interesting to spy on the cat as she shows her true nature.

Another interesting view would be from the horse’s view as he is made to take a jump. I would not like to have to jump the heights my horse seems to enjoy. I would love to see the jump as he sees it.

They say horses see everyone as big as they are themselves. It is a shame they do not yet have a cameras that allows us to see what our pets see, in their own words, so to speak.

In the meantime, I hope they publish more pictures taken from an animal’s point of view. They are fascinating to see.
