yeah... what a lame competition. looks like ordinary folks like us will not be able to participate. most of us won't have the reason or a need to own a field scope.

I think this competition is only open to birders.

Pray tell why you think this competition is lame? You calling it lame just becoz you dun have a scope? Have you ever tried digiscoping before? I have seen some top digiscopers works before, and they are stunning. It takes a LOT of skill and technique to get good pictures out of such a setup. I have nothing but loads of RESPECT for these people.

If you do not have any idea what I'm talking about, go and google up on Lawrence Poh.

Very often, digiscoping is the only way to capture the wildlife images, especially birds from a comfortable distance while minimizing disturbance to habitat.
