When it comes to photographing birds and other forms of wildlife, digiscoping is a technique that produces incredible results. As an avid bird watcher, you probably understand that there are a lot of gadgets you could end up with in order to fuel your hobby. You’ll want to view the birds through a telescope, binoculars, or other device.

But what if you see something that you want to capture in the form of a photograph? Often, you only have a split second before the bird flies away.
The answer to this potential problem is to purchase the tools that will make digiscoping possible.

Digiscoping is a method that is used for taking pictures of birds through a special scope. If you’ve been birding for a while, chances are you already have key elements of the equipment. In order to do digiscoping with a DSLR, you need a camera, a good tripod, and a good scope. Most birders have a tripod and a scope. The only missing link is to purchase the camera that works for you.

Bird Photography in Your Yard

Beautiful, timid and graceful, birds make a lovely subject for photography. However, it often takes a somewhat experienced photographer or someone with sheer dumb luck to get close enough to take a great shot of a bird without scaring it away.

To turn the situation around for great success, consider creating an environment that will help bring the birds to you, instead of the other way around. With a small investment of time and money, you can create a lovely sanctuary for your feathered friends in your own front or back yard. Gardens make great spots for birdbaths while nearby trees provide the perfect place to hang a birdfeeder or a birdhouse.

A Birding Digital Camera for DigiscopingOne 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!

BirdingOften nervous creatures, birds can be exceedingly difficult to photograph. Birdwatchers, or birders, usually have a good approach for getting close to their subjects without causing any disturbance.

Some birders may wish to use a scope in addition to their cameras so they can get closer shots. Without the scope, one must get fairly close to the subject to ensure clear, crisp photographs. For many birders, “stalking” the birds can be a tricky task. Below are some tips on stalking birds for digital photography opportunities.

To overcome the difficulties involved with securing a clear, close-up image while bird watching – also known as “birding” – photographers may affix a digital camera to a spotting scope in order to acquire extreme close-ups.
