Thanks for posting your experiences an...Hi Hannes,<br /><br />Thanks for posting your experiences and insight. <br /><br />As with golf, there are no hard and fast rules in digiscoping. It takes time and practice; getting to knwo your own equipment and finding out what works best for you.<br /><br />The things I suggest are normally all based around getting people to understand what they are doing and why; and if you rely on that little green box (automatic mode) then your likely to end up with disappointing results.<br /><br />Happy digiscoping,<br />DaleDale Forbeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898040644854359126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-26421793952333884562010-10-01T03:21:53.502+02:002010-10-01T03:21:53.502+02:00Dale, you asked me to post my experience here, so ...Dale, you asked me to post my experience here, so following are some of my observations after using the 80hd in conjuction with the tls800 and the 7D:<br /><br />Preferred shutterspeed: 1/1000th or higher (handheld and on tripod)<br />Minimum shutterspeed: 1/800th handheld on tripod)<br /><br />Metering Mode: Partial Metering when the object fills a larger part of the sensor / lock exposure / re compose<br /> Evaluative Metering if the object fills the sensor<br /><br />Rather than using AV i use TV allowing me to lock the shutterspeed at the preferred setting and since the aperture is fixed anyway i can change the exposure in extreme conditions by adjusting the shutterspeed with my index finger (or via the ISO as a secondary choice only if >3200 is required to expose correctly).<br /><br />If light conditions are really bad, eg if i am in a dense forest or out late in the afternoon, i go to manual (or C3) with the ISO set to 6400 (or sometimes even 12800 which still produces ok images albeit you need to bin them to a small size).<br /><br />The custom modes i have pre-programmed as following in order to switch quickly: C1 = TV / 1/1000th, Auto ISO, C2 = TV / 1/400th , Auto ISO and selftimer 10sec for use with remote release RC1, C3 = TV / 1/1000th , ISO 6400<br /><br />anyway this is just my receipe and since i am very new to DSLRs etc i would be glad to get some more tips and tricks.<br /><br />Kind regards,<br /><br />HannesHanneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101763987981814931noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3183715504165424635.post-38291669838991014882010-09-14T16:45:57.480+02:002010-09-14T16:45:57.480+02:00excellent videos! well done.excellent videos! well done.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07023413530687513199noreply@blogger.com
