Digiscoping photography by Anders Hammergart |
||||
Anders Hammergart is from Denmark but travels to
such countries as Greece, Spain and Sweden to birdwatch and
digiscope. Digiscoping makes use of a birdwatchers telescope by
using it as a powerful lens through which a digital camera can take
photographs. The telescope is normally mounted on a tripod
and the camera can simply be held and focussed on the telescope
eyepiece image to take a photograph. This can be the most cost effective route to digital wildlife photography if you already have a suitable telescope and tripod, as you might be able to use a simple inexpensive camera. Digiscoping makes it possible to take photographs which could not otherwise be obtained except by very expensive heavy lenses. This type of photography is limited by having to use a tripod. |
