    Default ... In tooth and claw, digiscoped

    This is a digiscoped image of the Peregrine eating the remains of a Mallard, that I posted the other day but photographed with different equipment. I had my scope, tripod and p&s with me in the car, and the bird was so intent on having supper that it allowed me time to set it all up.

    Sony DSC-W5, Kowa 773 scope with 30x WA eyepiece, ISO 100, 1/320 at f8.0.

    That's not bad at all for a digiscoped image! :) I cannot remember the name of the guy (I think from Finland) who uses mobile phone cameras and takes fantastic images.

    Well done. :)

    Love the look-back head angle and the view of the duck. EXP good. Hard to tell about the Image Quality but it looks pretty good.

    Great find and behavior captured. The fine details are lacking, probably due to digiscoping but very interesting nonetheless.

    Great behaviour and pose. Amazing bulging crop. Image looks quite soft with some prominent sharpening artifacts in some of the grass behind the bird's breast.

    Superb Sighting! As Arthur said, love the "look back pose".
    You did well considering the equipment you have used!
    Well done!
