Sweet little trick
« on: February 06, 2009, 10:27:00 PM »
Iam not a big picture taker only because i dont have a digital camera anymore but when i was out wiht my brother and his friend today his friend showed us this really cool trick. He put his camera up to the eye piece of his bino's and it actully made the picture look alot closer and what not. Do any of you guys use that trick and if so i would like to see some pics and kinda give me more of an idea how you do it.

How did the picture turn out? Was it good enough quality where you could make out the animal pretty well?

I've seen it a few times on here before but it's always nice to see more.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

I've done it with a spotter and bino's. the lense on your camera has to be small enough to make it work. i can't do it with the FZ18...just my little coolpix camera.
they make equipment to mount the camera to a spotting scope and call it digiscoping FYI. again, you have to have the right equipment to do it correctly, but you can get some good quality pictures digiscoping.

I have an attachment for my spotter.  It was pre-digiscoping years and the picture turns out normal.  I hadn't used it for awhile, but I did this spring of that bull elk that was a mile or two away.I got it with my cabelas spotter.

no, it has to be an SLR.  It was back in film days and i tried it with my Canon.  Worked fine.  You end up focusing through the scope obviosly.   Takes a fine eye.  Its good to take several shots as the lighting sucks through it.
