Digiscopy using Nikon P5100

Digiscopy using Nikon P5100

P5100 is pretty versatile in digiscopy except for the absence of an EVF which makes it difficult to be used in unshaded environment. The wide-angle end of its zoom lens is at 28mm. Suitably mounted on Swarovski's DCA adaptal tube, no vignetting will appear on P5100 despite the fact that its zoom lens is pushed to its widest. At 28mm, a larger field of view can be obtained on the camera. This field of view is so flat and the foreground and background so pressed together that images created are not only distortion free but also highly compact in perspective. Other than avian photography, there are actually many other uses that the digiscoping setup can live up to in photography. Here are a few from my digiscoping experience. Pleasant viewing.
