Howdee all,
As some of you know I recently purchased a few cameras. My camera that was used for digiscoping died because of water damage..taken while i was crossing a log for a Morel mushroom. I purchased a camera for birding for myself, Canon SX1 and one for Jeff and myself to use digiscoping, the Canon A590. I still am waiting for the Panasonic lumix camera that I will carry with me daily..cant find the model I want in stock anywhere.
So Jeff was playing around with the Canon A590 and took a few nice shots.
Nesting Least tern Black-backed Gull
He wanted to capture the red eye ring.. And he did..

very nice- so your new camera mounts on the digiscope well? my digiscope is cheap bt found very wobbly and unable to get a good pic
ReplyDelete...very cool. I'd like to start digiscoping to be able to capture those far-off images I can only see through my binocs. I know nothing about digiscoping and need to practice. I gave my husband a telescope years ago and it has a camera adapter thing...I think! Maybe we can give that a try!
ReplyDeleteWow some cool pics there Dawn! i really have to invest in a Camera1 Be Well mate!

What a close up! Like looking face to face!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures Jeffy!
ReplyDeleteThose are so great! I keep wanting to try digiscoping, but haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteThose are some really great shots. It looks like the black eyed gull could use some sleep, or some coffee :)
ReplyDeleteNice job capturing that eye ring! Keep up the good work.
ReplyDeleteGood photos _ I wish I had had my older Sony with me when I went for the henslow's - I might have gotten something recognizable. Couldn't manage it with the "newer & better" model.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos, Jeff! I, especially, like the red eye ring of the black-backed gull. Digiscoping is on my list of "want to dos" some day. I seem to have a long list, esp after visiting experienced birder blogs, like yours ( your blog is so nice,so organized and varied..video, stills, etc.:-) but I'm still having fun with all those newbie adventures of a beginner!
ReplyDeleteGood luck, Dawn, on finding the camera you want!
Sweet digi pics!Love those Terns.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the camera experiments are coming along! Great images!
ReplyDeleteLook at all your wonderful photos! Love the Terns. They're so sleek looking.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about your old camera Dawn. I dropped one of mine in a river years ago. It broke my heart. I'm MUCH more careful now as I'm sure you are too.
Be on the lookout for sun tomorrow!

Oh my goodness...! Nice photos! The red ring!
ReplyDeleteYou bought a "few" cameras. Oh... Nice shots digiscoping. Have fun with your new toys!
ReplyDeleteWow... that photo of the face and that red eye rocks!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the beautiful bird. You captured him so well.
ReplyDeleteWhich Panasonic Lumix you looking for?
ReplyDeleteHave you tried B&H and Adorama?
Nice pistures and the red eye one is great. I don't have a digiscope just a zoom lens. Am interested to see how it works with birding in the field. Looking forward to finding out on Sat.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos!
