Introduction to Digiscoping
STEP.3 Getting started with digiscoping Part 2: Shooting - Before going out into the field (exercises)
 
Getting used to shooting
 
Start out by shooting a stationary subject.
Select a subject such as a utility pole or tree about 10 to 20 meters away from your home. A stationary subject allows you to practice shooting techniques and get used to your equipment.
Practice each function, such as "Focusing," "Determining exposures," "Exposure compensation" and "Composition." Be careful not to look into neighbors' homes or at pedestrians through the Fieldscope.
 
Practice outside.
Next, visit a park and practice your shooting techniques on pigeons or water birds in a pond. Birds at rest make good subjects for practice.
 
Confirm your digital images.
There might be a big difference between what you see on a computer screen and on the camera's LCD panel.
You might discover problems that can be solved during the next shooting opportunity.
If you do not have access to a personal computer, ask a photo laboratory to make prints of your images.
 
Take as many pictures as you like. After you get the hang of it, your ratio of successful pictures will increase.
