A means of getting up close. Each of these images was obtained using a Leica APO Televid 82 spotting scope, fitted with a Leica X2 camera, connected using a Leica Adapter.
Every photo was taken with the X2 Compression set to: DNG+JPG S. fine; initially edited using Adobe PE, with some .jpg images again edited using Nikon's Capture NX 2.
The spotting scope rests on a Manfrotto tripod with a Wimberley head.
Each of these photos is a link from my Birds gallery.
