Just how good are the shade/viewers (1 Viewer)

Thanks for the link, Jay. I am just getting to grips with histograms after ignoring their apparent complexity for years. Whoever put that site together certainly understands the ins and outs of explanatory writing.

Yes - I like his writing. You can regularly find Larry on the Nikon5000 and oolpix990 groups on Yahoo Groups. He is a retired or semi-retired professional photographer who seems to have a strong teaching gene. He's a huge fan of the CP5000 - as ai am.
 
Jay, that web site is a fabulous tutorial. I was nearly totally ignorant of use of histograms because none of my previous cameras had them. Now the new Olympus C-60 zoom has added it. Boy would that have solved my Sapsucker problem. You can set the menu to show the histogram on playback, and I turned it off, not knowing how to use the information. Thanks again.

Also, I'm posting two different magnifications/crops of Band-tailed pigeon pair in our tree shot yesterday at 1/20 second shutter using mount and remote. I think its impressive what one can get when all is steady on the equipment.

After looking at Andy B's site ( I think, or maybe on here ), I bought a £1.99 (plastic) slide viewer from Jessops, took the base off and stuck velcro on the viewer and camera and it magnifies a treat, I use a Canon Powershot A80 with a tiny 1.5" LCD!.

Alan,Interested in your comments. Have just started digiscoping with Canon A70 and Leica 77APO . What camera settings do you use. Hope you don't mind me asking.
