Digiscoping is the quickest, most accessible way of nature photography.

The name is a portmanteau of "digital camera" and "spotting scope" The technique is simple: you hold your camera up to the eyepiece of a spotting scope and take a picture.

The magnification provided by the spotting scope brings distant birds into range.

It's also a terrific way to conduct nature photography on a budget.

Digiscoping is not as good as using high-end telephoto lenses and DSLRs .

Most of us are not professional nature photographers, and in that case, it's easy to do, easy to share, and easy to afford.

There are Bluetooth remote control devices available for iOS and Android smartphones.
