Hey Everybirdy,
Having recently been asked to join the Nikon ProStaff Birding Team, to which of course, I said "Yes!" :biggrin: , I've been trying to get back in the swing of digiscoping. It's not a paying gig, just more or less getting out there and sporting Nikon optics and eventually doing some digiscoping demos here and there. Has nothing to do with cameras :frown:, other than the Nikon Coolpix P3 that attaches to my scope.
While there are undoubtedly, differences between SLR shooting and digiscoping, I'm going to do my best to try and lessen those differences.
So far I'm still stuck in D70 land as far as DSLR and limited to 6 mp, the Coolpix P3 is 8.1 mp and has VR, which I don't yet use since I'm still in the "getting to know" stages of the camera and set-up.
Please feel free to let me know what you think. IN the future I'll always identify if I'm posting digiscope images and will more than likely just use the term in the title as well so you won't always have to ask as there may not be much difference in regard to my DSLR shooting!!
:biggrin:
The whole set-up, for anyone who's curious, is a Nikon 80mm ED Fieldscope, an FSB-4 bracket with a release cord, 30 DS wide angel eyepiece and the Nikon Coolpix P3 and (for the moment) it's stacked on a Slik Pro400DX tripod.
A few recent shots, digiscoped
, of course!
