Digital Cameras and Macro (1 Viewer)

[tracker]

FWIW, this shot was taken from around 20-30 feet (not inches) away. Digiscoping can be useful for "macro" shots sometimes. I don't usually shoot butterflys, but the birds seemed to be hiding at the time.

Lovely shot, Jay. Funny enough i had been thinking about how the macro facility would work via the scope. What camera was this taken with?

Taken with a Coolpix 5000. The rull resolution unmodified original (except for a 180 degree rotation) can be found at:

The original image shows that the digiscoped image gives up some image contrast. But much of that contrast can be recovered by judicious image sharpening in Photoshop. The equivalent focal length was probably around 2300mm.
