I went out tonight with my camera and my spotting scope. I tried taking pics through my spotting scope but I ................ well I suck at it! [:@] If anyone has any advice on this.... I'm all ears.

I almost didn't need the spotting scope because once they noticed me they became curious and walked towards my truck! I spotted a monster in a bean field but the traffic was too much for me to stop and take a pic. [&o]











See what I mean? []

Nice pics Greg. . .except for that last one [8D]. You should get one of those thousand dollar cameras

Nice pics Greg. Are them beans?

Cool pictures Greg.Its amazing how curious they are whenthere isno bow in your hand.

Yeah, they're beans. They looked a bit short at first but that spike sure disappears when he laid down.

Anyone ever take pics through a spotting scope?

Yea but it takes the planets aligning to work. Seriously though, I never could figure out a strategy that worked every single time. It took dozens of pics to get one that was clear.....wasnt sure what I was doing wrong.

awesome pics greg! thanks for sharing

I've only taken pics through my spotting scopes a couple of times. In order for me to get clear images I couldn't use any of the zoom on the camera and had to slowly start the scope from its lowest power and work my way up. As previously saidits a pain in the arse to keep the camera in the same spot while doing this.

Hope this helps
Tom

cool thanks for sharing

Its hard to take pictures through a spotting scope without a camera that you can manually focus. Ive tried it with my small digital and the autofocus always seems to mess it up...
