Just all of the images on the Pioneer Birding blog have been digiscoped using a Canon Powershot compact digital camera (currently the A590) handheld against a Swarovski HD telescope. Images of birds in flight are usually taken in a similar manner but through Leica Ultravid 8 x 42 binoculars. Both methods produce a variety of results but can really make the difference between having a decent record shot or not. In particular, 'digibin' shots can be especially crucial in documenting rare seabirds, raptors or swifts for example. A few examples can be seen at my website in addition to this blog.
*Most of the pictures presented here can be viewed at a larger size by simply clicking on the image. I sincerely hope you enjoy them!
