Stephane
has asked me to write a few words of introduction to his homepage. I am
most honoured by this request.
Stephane, I and about 20 other persons
around the world are a new breed of bird-watchers / photographers who have
been nicknamed “digiscopers”. These photographers shoot with modern megapixels
digital cameras through spotting scopes. The combination of the digital
camera and the scope magnifies the image to the power of over 2000 mm lens
equivalent of the conventional 35mm film format. Birds photographed this
way are candid and natural. Even for shy birds, no hide is required.
I wish him success with his homepage and
that you will bookmark this page and come back often to learn the ‘tips
and tricks’ of digital scope photography, view his new photo additions,
articles and links.

Laurence Poh, digiscoper and friend to many, passed away peacefully this morning, 19 September 2004 at 4:30am. He had pancreatic cancer.
