Hi Ivan,
A beautiful capture of this couple of lapwing. I think you had attached the digiscope with your 4500 to get so close. Excellent composition and very good details. Hope the weather get fine there in Sweden. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Hello Ivan,
Very nice picture of this pair of plovers. Thanks a lot for sharing.
I still do not understand how the method of digiscoping could be easier than SLR + long-lens. But, the sharpness of the picture is amazing, which is not easy to get from a distance of 50m.

Hi Ivan,
Nice duo. Digiscoping definitely gives the reach.Though it needs the light to be good for getting pleasing results as you have achieved here.

Hi Ivan,

A great capture with good quality considering you were 50 meters away,I have always wondered if it is possible to digiscope with a SLR,not that this is an intention of my as I am quite happy with my equipment,but maybe you have thought about it as you are in possesion of a scope,thanks

Hi Ivan,

It's a gloomy day here too - thick clouds and a forecast of snow in the mountains and rain in the valley. Not so bad because we know the sun will return tomorrow. A beautiful shot of this pair of Lapwings. I love the positions they are in. Striking colors, excellent details and a lovely setting.

Hi Ivan

Ah India, another destination I must get to some day.....
Digiscoping has its place and I think this is quite a good result, despite the small aberation under the chin of the rear bird. When you think about the combination of coolpix and scope, any reult is fantastic.
Well portrayed with a natural look, not one of alarm.
TFS

ps. hope your gloomy weather soon disappears, it's 25 deg C here at 11pm, bed time, good nite.

This is a great digiscoping photo. You have managed verey well with the sharpness, the biggest problem for me when I am digiscoping. I would like to see more of your photos from India, I guess I have to dig a bit in you archive... ;o)

It always amazes me how God designed nature to complement itself. Unless photographers all over the world just get lucky that often, these birds have feathers that are almost the exact color as the the ground they are standing on, and I know it's normal, but it will always make me stop and take a deep breath every time I see it. That's just the kind of sappy gal that I am. I am impressed with how you created this shot. It's just lovely. TFS.

I saw quite a few of these birds on the banks of Yamuna river today morning, Ivan. They take flight at the slightest movement you make towards them. Taking a shot from a distance of more than 50 meters with my 70-300mm would have been useless.
You have used your scope in combination with your Coolpix with deadly accuracy. The magnified image is flawless. The colours too are sharp and rich.
TFS and regards.
