Look out for the new

In the meantime here is a little something to whet your appetite.

| Readers of the Surfbirds website (www.surfbirds.com)will
have been impressed with the high quality of the digital videograbs that
are regularly displayed on our Stop Press Rarity Pages. During October,
you will have seen the stunning digital pictures brought to you from the
ringing room on Fair Isle. The Fair Isle camera was kindly loaned by optics
expert and birder Trevor Codlin from the London Camera Exchange. |
| |
| Below are a few samples of pictures
taken through telescopes. All of the pictures shown have been taken using
various Nikon Digital cameras and a Swarovski AT80HD |
 |
As you can see from
these two pictures, the magnification available is stunning. The view taken
on the left is with the Nikon Coolpix 800 set on telephoto. On the right
is the close up view using a 30x eyepiece. |

These two pictures were
video grabs from my Sony PC100 E. As you can see there is a fair amount
of vignetting in the right hand picture. This could be easily removed using
computer software. |

|
| Although not the best subject matter
in the world, the pictures below, show the range of magnification that is
available with a video camera and telescope. |
 |
|
 |
| This shot is taken on the wide angle
setting of the video camera...
|
...the middle shot is the 10x
zoom of the video camera...
|
...and the last shot is the video
camera through the Swarovski Telescope
|
| |
|
|
 |
The last two pictures were
taken with a Nikon coolpix 800 (left), and then through a Swarovski AT80HD
c/w 30x lens. You can see the small boat on the other side of the harbour |
