Who is the intended market for Digiscoping Digest?
The digest is intended for individuals that would like to get involved in nature photography. This field was previously limited to individuals with expensive telephoto lens that attach directly to professional style cameras. The Digiscoping concept couples a "point and shoot" camera with a spotting scope allowing close-up photography with a "hobby" budget.
Why should I subscribe?
Enhance your love of animals and nature using the spotting scope to observe details unavailable to the human eye. And, learn computer skills at the same time. Reading, writing, and arithmetic are basic skills taught in schools. However to succeed in today’s market, you need to know how to use a computer. Combining photography with digital imaging skills, we indirectly teach computer skills in a fun environment. Our combination of captivating photographs, step-by-step workflow examples, and advanced automated toolset gives any one instant satisfaction when processing their own digital images.
What age group should subscribe?
Most of us are just now being introduced to digital cameras and image processing software so we can learn together regardless of age. Digiscoping Digest is highly recommended as a way to introduce any one to a computer especially a budding photographer. There’s just something about showing someone your photographs and having them say “wow” that makes everyone feel good. We automate every workflow so it is as easy as one or two “clicks” to perform advance operations.
