Stéphane Moniotte and twenty enthusiasts around the world are a new breed of bird-watchers / photographers who have been nicknamed “digiscopers”. They shoot with modern megapixels digital cameras through spotting scopes.

The website gives you a more detailed description of the technique and results from information collected since the early days of digiscoping, and has been greatly expanded with the help of many international contributors. New contributors are welcome, as digiscoping is still an evolving science. Articles on technical aspects of digital photography (Tips and Tricks) can be submitted too.
