IJBURG
Enjoy your day and depart from IJburg to spend the day at the IJmeer. Here, there are many opportunities to go sailing, enjoy the scenery and the tranquility of the water, moor up in one of the many ports and enjoy a snack and a drink. Alternatively, for the competitve folk, racing is possible between two identical yachts or any of the three short track races just off the coast of IJburg as Vincent has done.

There’s a large RSPB reserve, and a bird observatory. Dungeness

With this technique we can obtain really closeup images of subjects, whether birds, mammals, flowers or even insects, bearing in mind something very important, that we can remain at a safe distance and hence cause minimal disturbance to animals in their natural environment.

DIGISCOPING Get in close to your subjects, using this affordable technique Text, Photos & Illustrations by Eva Solanes
Digiscoping is the photographic technique of uniting a digital camera, either reflex or compact, to a spotting telescope. The combination of camera and telescope creates a powerful photographic tool, capable of bringing the photographer much closer to any subject, such as birds or mammals. The focal lengths on offer are in excess of 1,000mm, which is far superior to traditional

telephoto lenses. A large number of birdwatchers use the digiscoping technique, because on top of a good telescope, there is little more investment needed. With scopes ranging between £200-£2,000 and adaptors from £200-450, equipment can be much more affordable than an equivalent telephoto lens. A digiscoping setup is lighter too. Handily, being able to get close-up
images from such great distances causes minimal disturbance to animals in their natural environment. However, digiscoping is a difficult technique, requiring the upmost stability for the kit. There are limitations too - a telescope does not have an adjustable aperture. One’s technique is truly tested, but with patience and endeavour it is possible to get great pictures.
An APS-C format DSLR camera with 50 mm lens attached and a 40x zoom eyepiece telescope has been used to create this image of White Storks (Ciconia ciconia) in Lleida, Spain. Technical details Focal length: 3200 mm (64x) Magnification calculation: 50 x 1.6 x 40x Shutter speed: 1/400sec
Coupling There are 3 ways of coupling the camera to the spotting scope: the afocal system, the prime focus and that of eyepiece projection. The first two are the most commonly used systems. The versatility of these three methods makes it possible to work with a great variety of equipment. Here’s a definition of each one: AFOCAL Connecting the camera lens directly to the telescope eyepiece using an adapter. This system is used for both reflex and compact cameras.

PRIME FOCUS Connecting the camera to the telescope directly, without incorporating any intermediary lens, in other words without the camera lens and without the telescope eyepiece. This requires a Photo Adapter. This system is only used with reflex cameras.

EYEPIECE PROJECTION Connecting the camera without any lens to the telescope eyepiece using an adapter. This system is only used with reflex cameras.

To summarise, with the afocal and the eyepiece projection systems we can obtain greater magnification but there will be some loss of quality from the photos, as there are lenses between the camera and the telescope. In contrast, with the prime focus system we can obtain greater quality but lower magnification, as the connection is directly between the camera body and the telescope. 17.
Sensor Sizes & Magnification Another aspect to take into consideration is the camera’s sensor size. particularly when using the afocal or prime focus coupling methods. A full frame sensor does not have a magnification factor, but less costly cameras that use a smaller sensor actually benefit digiscopers with a magnification factor that increases the focal length. For example, an APS-C format sensor has a 1.5x magnification factor (for Pentax, Sony and Nikon models but for Canon it is 1.6x), while the Four Thirds sensor used in Olympus and Panasonic CSCs has a 2x magnification factor.

Examples of photos taken the afocal system using an APS camera (with a sensor multiplications factor of 1.6), and a telescope zoom eyepiece of 20-60x. In both cases only the 20 and 30x zooms have been used, thereby achieving a focal length of 1,800mm. By using the 60x it is possible to attain 9,000mm, but with subsquent loss of quality (original framing)
18.
A look at the afocal and prime focus setups reveals that when a camera with a sensor magnification factor of 1.6x is connected to a telescope ocular zoom of 20-60x, a range of focal lengths of between 1,800 and 9,000 mm is obtained. This arms us with an overwhelming potential in comparison to traditional telephoto lenses, which can only reach up to 1,200 mm. One thing that should be pointed out is that with digiscoping, increasing magnification applied through the telescope eyepiece leads to a reduction in image quality, and depending on the setup (eg. compact camera) increases vignetting which reduces the useable section of the image frame. Hence it is recommendable not to exceed 40 magnifications and to only use the higher levels for emergencies, such as documenting rare sightings or readings of rings on birds. In digiscoping birdwatchers have a great ally in the reliable dating and management of their records.
Challenges When working with a large focal length, any small vibration greatly affects the whole equipment, often spoiling the resulting images. Also, the slightest movements of kit are exaggerated, so a shift of a millimetre can alter the view through the scope by feet, which makes compostion tricky. To ensure kit is as steady as possible, it is vital to fix the camera and scope to a sturdy tripod. The right tripod head is important too. A fluid video head provides smooth and fluid movements, which helps locate and track a subject, as well as obtaining optimum stability for welldefined shots without vibrations. Once the equipment has been decided, it is wise to check the weather. Good light is needed for two key reasons. There is no control over aperture when using a telescope, which depending on the telescope is fixed in the region of f/11. Also, a fast shutter speed is needed (I suggest a speed that matches the focal length eg. 1/1000sec for 1,000mm). This combination requires bright light (or a high ISO which would reduce image quality).
European Bee-eater (Merops apiaster), Lleida (Spain) Focal length: 2400 mm (50 x 1.6 x 30x)
With all these factors in mind we are ready to shoot. Patience is required to adapt to the new equipment, as its handling is different from those of a traditional telephoto lens. But with practice and enthusiasm you can soon get images which you will be proud of.

Certification details Anti-reflection
ED Glass ED glass effectively reduces color dispersion and enhances color resolution and contrast. Different light wavelengths do not come to the same point after passing the lens. ED glass helps to correct this problem. As a result, the image is sharper.
P2
AR Coating (Anti-Reflection) AR Coating on all air-to-surface lenses dramatically minimises light reflection on the lens. Coupled with fully multicoated treatment, it ensures near perfect light transmission and image recognition, enabling the brightest images possible, even on the sunniest days.
Emerald Coating The VANGUARD Emerald coating is specifically designed to provide the full spectrum of color within the band of green tones. This coating is essential for nature enthusiasts, because it ensures the most vivid and natural shades of green.
V-Max Coating V-Max Silver Coating is among the most cutting-edge lens treatments in optics, providing crisper, more vivid images and sharper contrast due to impressive light reflection.
Waterproof Nitrogen charged and O-ring sealed, waterproof and fogproof to take on challenging weather conditions.
Phase coating
P2 Phase Coating Developed for enhanced image clarity and true color reproduction, P2 Phase Coating treatment to BaK4 prisms creates crystal clear images and high resolution observation.
