    Thanks for the comments! :-) Joe52: I have shot in live view mode too. On my DSLR camera the shutter response time is slowed down in live view - I often find it sluggish and miss shots.

    Taken the winter just gone, this is one of a large posse of blue tits that frequented the garden. The branch is setup in view from my window with bird seed scattered on the stub. My camera is placed a few feet away on a tripod and I fire the shutter remotely from inside the house on site of...

    Afocal digiscoping with DSLR - help me!!

    Thanks for your reply Calvin, its appreciated. To answer, I tried a few aperture settings all the while keeping the shutter speed to a minimum of 1/1000sec (or quicker depending on the focal length I was getting) by using auto ISO and setting the min shutter speed. I then trigger my camera...

    OK so I love being out in nature and observing wildlife, but I am also trying to get my head around the technical aspects of digiscoping so I can get the best pictures possible. I expect to post the occasional technical question on the forum. Thanks in advance for your advice! Tim
