So after the Olympus 40-150mm (80-300) f/2.8 PRO Lens has been returned to borrowlens.com, and your shooting through your Leica Ultravid HD Plus 7x42's or whatever bins you have hand held with a cell phone, what are the techniques?
So below is one of the good ones and one of the mediocre ones.
1. For example, in the third picture, I could just make out clearly that African raptor's yellow bill with my eyes through the binoculars, but that detail was dropped from the photo. Is that just the camera's auto focus lens not quite focused optimally, or it's just not going to resolve the detail my eyes can see? With the white eagle in pic 2 I seemed to get everything.
2. Fully deploying the eyecups seems to be best when shooting, is there an intermediate place that is better?
3. Are there other technique suggestions for hand held digi-scoping?
4. The bigger the EP, the easier this technique is right? Although it's pretty easy now.
5. Do iPhones have a focus lock? Is there an iPhone adapter that won't damage your eye cups?
6. Yeah I know, where was my camera? Well on safari with me, but the first two pictures I was having breakfast, the third I was on my hotel roof with my binoculars.
Files reduced in size for posting. Except for cropping in photo 2 to remove the dark circle, files are 'as is' when shot. No digital software processing applied such as photoshop.
Thanks.
