I took up birdwatching after mobility probs meant I was unable to do lots of walking and motorcyling.I needed to be out of doors,able to sit down and not look like a spare part.I then wanted to be able to take photos of the birds .My first digi cam was a used Finepixs620.A great cam,I was amazed I could take a shot,that was not minus half of the object.But then I needed to be able to see on a photo,the object I could see in the scope,hence a tip off re Andy's digiscoping Forum,which in turn led me to BF.Then as has been already mentioned the 300d arrived on the scene,affordable,and it does take some great shots.Then came the 100-400 lens,and it now so simple to take relatively close up shots of birds.Unfortunately,all happened rather late in life,when brain is somewhat sponge-like,so remembering various settings etc and techniques is not so easy,but I just enjoy being outside and taking photos in general.
