Message: <blockquote data-quote="Surreybirder" data-source="post: 36029" data-attributes="member: 1211">I was interested to see a photo taken by someone on this forum using his/her digital camera and binoculars.Just for the heck of it, I thought I'd give it a try.  I focussed my bins on the bird and then held the camera in my other hand, using the screen to get the bird in the middle of the pic.  The result wouldn't win any prizes but at least it's recognizable.  Clearly digibinning doesn't have a great future! (though it might be more feasible with bins that have a screw-socket for a tripod).  But it struck me that there may be occasions when you want a record shot of, say, a butterfly or dragonfly for identification purposes when this technique might be better than nothing.PS sorry if this is in the wrong forum!</blockquote>
