Title: Sweet little trick
Post by: OneHorn 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.

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.
