Birdchick Blog: Digiscoping Workshop This Saturday!

Digiscoping Workshop This Saturday!

Hey, want to learn how to digiscope refine your digiscoping techniques? Ibis and egrets may not be on hand, but other cool birds like eagles should be around.

On Saturday, January 31st at 10AM I will do a digiscoping workshop at the Great River Road Learning Center in Prescott, WI (just across the border from Hastings). Digiscoping is the art of taking awesome photographs using a relatively inexpensive point & shoot digital camera in conjunction with a powerful spotting scope. We'll start with a powerpoint that shows how to take great photos (and bad ones) and then actaully practice on the birds at the feeders as well as the ducks and eagles on the river. Who knows, maybe we'll get a chance to digiscope a harlequin duck!

The Learning Center recently acquired an excellent 80mm spotting scope and digital camera suitable for digiscoping. Persons who attend the program will have the opportunity to use this equipment to take some of their own photos. Bring your binoculars and cameras.

Please call the Learning Center at 715-262-0104 to reserve a spot so we know how many people to expect at the workshop.

I'm in Colorado, not Wisconsin. Hell, I'd even pay for the PPT, if the price were reasonable.

I can't put the PP online for several reasons. Number one, it's one of the ways I earn a living and if my PP is online, there's no reason to hire me to give it.

Number two, I use pp more as a slide show, there is very little text, so quite a bit of it would not make sense without me there to explain the image.

I'm with the other posters-I would be thrilled to buy an book ,ppt or decent instruction manual on digiscoping.
For the life of me, I get nothing but frustrated when I try to do it on my own :(
