I thought it would be fun to push the limits of the sport of Digiscoping and see what people in this forum are getting when they go "way out there". The DSLR guys are happy getting out to around 1500 mm these days with their big 600/800 lenses and teleconverters. We can get out to 5,000 mms plus.
I'm also thinking about extreme conditions too so also would love to see rain/snow/fog images digiscoped at distance.
It would also be useful to see how various cameras perform when stretched.
To start things off I'll put up some images from my shoot on Wednesday with various cameras, but particularly the Sony RX 100 which I pushed up to full zoom ( actually 97 mm in the exif) and cranked up the Swarovski STX 95m to 60/70x ( 30 - 70 zoom on the 95 mm ). About 7,000 mms.
The day was cloudy/hazy with some bright patches ending with light drizzle/mist around 5.00 pm. Distance was about 100 meters. The first image shows the Mai Po Scrape (pond 16/17) at a wide 38 mm. The birds are circled in white.
I'm looking forward to seeing examples from all around the world of Extreme Digiscoping.
