  1. My camera is a Nikon Cool Pix P100 and I was able to just hold the camera directly against the eye piece of the spotter. The frame of the camera will contact the rubber of the eye piece with no glass touching. It is pretty quick and easy.

     

    I've had cameras in the past where you had to kind of "float" the camera behind the eye piece and that's a pain to get everything lined up for the shot.

     

    Terry H had an idea of cutting a card board tube the length you would need to bridge the space to allow you to hold the camera up against something to get away from the "floating" problem. It sounds like it would work.

  2. Here are a few more pictures of animals and scenery.

     

    Here are some assorted pictures that we took on our Africa trip. Most of these were taken at a nature park called Pilanesburg.

    We did some hunting on this guys property. He also raises White Rhino and Cape Buffalo for breeders. We were on foot about 20 yards from these guys and got some pretty cool video and pictures. Those things are so big and can move so fast I was glad to get back into the truck after seeing them.

    We spent one day in Pilanseburg Park. You just drive where you want to and stop when you feel like it. We had a great time here and saw lots of different animals.

    We saw this big guy walking about 800 yards away toward a group of trees.

    This looked like a good way to set up my spotting scope and try to take some pictures of the elephant through it.

    The pictures of this lioness don't do justice to actually being about 130 yards from her and looking at her through some of the best glass in the world at 60 power.
