[Photos]
As I write these lines, that is to say in 2024 (yes, I have a significant delay between my shots and the updating of these web pages), I decided to try digiscoping.
This consists of remote shots through the optics of a spotting scope. This allows observations from afar with minimal disturbance to the species photographed.
I have already done some tests with my smartphone. The quality is not that good but with a bridge camera I think it will be OK for me.
You will of course have to be very patient to see the first results.
Black-billed Gull (Chroicocephalus bulleri(Hutton, 1871)) - Quenstown, South Island, New Zealand - December 23rd 2018
Canon EOS 40D, EFS 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens at 18mm.
F/9, 1/2000 s, 200ASA. Focus distance: about 25cm.
Wide angle wildlife shots allow you to have shots with the subject and its environment.
The difficulty comes from the fact that you have to be very close to the photographed animal.
Thanks to this Black-billed Gull which let me approach it near Queenstown beach two days before Christmas.

Willow Emerald Damselfly (Chalcolestes viridis(Vander Linden, 1825)) - Saône-et-Loire, France - August 26th 2018
Canon EOS 40D, EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS lens.
F/6.3, 1/40 s, 400ASA. Focus distance: about 35cm.
Immobile and covered by the morning dew, this Willow Emerald Damselfly allowed me to do a short photo session.
I'm waiting to find another subject of the same type to try to get better shots with better control of the depth of field.
