Another shot from Viera Wetlands, and another shot digiscoped with the Sony Rx100 behind the eyepiece of the ZEISS DiaScope 65FL. Here clearly, I turned off auto-focus on the Sony, and focused manually using the LCD screen. I found that there was menu setting to brighten the screen for sunlight viewing, and it works well. This kind of selective focus is quite easy to achieve using the very fine focus control on the DiaScope.

And I really like the effect. The sharply defended, and beautifully plumaged, Green Heron behind its screen of out of focus bright green reeds (with the two contrasting brown at odd angles). You might call it making art of necessity…but I like it.

Sony Rx100 in Program mode. Manual Focus. 1750mm equivalent field of view. 1/200th @ ISO 125. f10 effective. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness.
