    Digiscoping with a DSLR is still a good choice in 2022!

    I've been working on my digiscoping system for a while. Earlier this month I finally took it out for a birding trip along with a friend. My birding pal uses a Canon R6 and Sigma 150-600mm (sports) lens at the 600mm end. My digiscope consists of a Nikon D7200 SLR body, and a Nikon ED78 field...

    Picturing a grey heron 120m away!

    This picture of the grey heron may not be impressive at first, but consider that it was taken more than 120m away (and not cropped)! It's taken during the first test of my new DIY digiscoping system, which I believe can create close-up images from the other bank of a river or seashores. Or --...

    A swan goose airing its wings

    Apparently, in April, Beijing's sunny weather is too hot for swan geese. They usually shower in the river at noon, and let their wings dry in the air.

    Gentle as the spring
