1- We believe that your area of specialty is digiscoping. Your artworks are mostly related to wildlife photography, macro and specially birds. Now what scope do you use? Do you use different scopes for different scenarios? If true then what models and brands works for you? How about eyepieces? How often do you change eyepieces for different cases?
Many scopes are available and work well for digiscoping my personal choice is a Swarovski ST 80HD the high definition glass in this and other scopes is likely to produce the best result with digiscoping. Other scopes from Swarovski, Leica, Zeiss and other manufactures will give good results. Mine is on older Swarovski model but still highly regarded amongst digiscopers. The new Swarovski eyepieces can be used with this older scope, I own and use the new 30x WD (wide angle) Swarovski eyepiece, but often stay faithful to the 20-60x eyepiece which is very good. It also gives flexibility for framing as you can zoom in and out using the eyepiece as well as the camera, though I rarely use it above 20x as the more magnification you use the more light you need or to put it another way the lower you shutter speed will need to be for the correct exposure. You need more light with the 30x so staying at 20x will give you better shutter speeds for freezing movement.

 When purchasing a digital camera online, the choices can be overwhelming. There are so many digital cameras to choose from and a lot of websites that sell them that it can be hard to narrow down the search. Fortunately, armed with a little research, you can not only choose the digital camera you want, but you can also make a successful purchase online.Write Comment ( Comments) |

There are many digital camera buying guides on the internet but not all of them give you enough or complete information to buy the  Nature Scene taken on EOS 30D
A vast range of accessories is available to fit most pockets, and the digital SLR format meets the demands of almost any type of serious outdoor photographer. Compact digital cameras or point and shoot digital cameras are another choice for outdoor photography for photographers who are on a tight budget. Although you have less control over your lens, nowadays these cameras are powerful enough to handle amateur to semi-professional outdoor photography.

 One priority to select a camera for digiscoping is aperture priority and the lowest possible f-stop. The diameter of the lens opening (or aperture) is referred to as the f-stop. Most compact-level or point-and-shoot compact digital cameras have f-stops ranging between f/2.0 and f/11.0.
Aperture priority mode is a setting on your digital camera that, when activated, forces your digital camera to automatically set the shutter speed based upon the aperture setting that you have provided to your camera beforehand. You have to first select an appropriate aperture setting; otherwise you might lose some nice shots!

 Photo Taken on EOS 350D , EF 100 f2.8 Macro
Macro photography – extremely close-up photography – does not exist only in the world of professional photographers. With a focus on a few simple techniques and perhaps the addition of a few new accessories for your digital camera, you can see just how much fun macro can be.
Useful for many purposes, macro photography can capture purely creative subjects as well as commercial images such as jewelry pieces for a catalog. To succeed in taking great close-up photos, focus on the image at hand, minimizing clutter in the background. Allow your digital camera’s auto focus mode to take charge, but test out its “spot focus” mode for an exact preview of what the camera will be capturing.
