Two things

I ordered David Tipling's Bird Photography Book from Amazon. Its small enough to fit in my bag and boy was I blown away by this easy to understand book. Even if your not into bird photography the wealth of information in this little book will be of use to every photographer.
My 2nd thing and I read it in the book. I took my old Canon P&S camera and took a shot with it thru the screen at a stop sign across the parking lot from my condo. I then held up a pair of binoculars in front of the lens and took the same shot. I couldn't believe how the shot came out. It was like putting a 500MM lens on the camera. The screen was not visible at all like it was in the first shot. It was so much fun to try this. I just had to share with you all.

Had to do separate post with the 2 photos as I could not figure out how to add them here. They are just straight from camera with no PP done.

Thanks for that! As soon as it stops raining I'm going to try it. Well, ok, I might want to wait for daylight also..... :roll:

I've done this 30 years ago with my Pentax Auto 110 mini-SLR. You could point that camera into anything and get a great shot - magnifying glass, binoculars, telescope, whatever. The trick was the small lens.

It was fun to try something new and different with items I already had. I am hoping to try again once the darn rain stops. I want to put the P&S camera on my tripod and then hold the binoculars in front of it. Trying to hand hold all and shoot at same time definitely caused movement and blurring of the shot.
