Focusing the fieldscope after swinging the camera-mounting platform away 90° afforded better results this morning (
than focusing through the camera monitor last Sunday). The trees were about a hundred yards from the setup (Nikon ED50 fieldscope, Nikon camera attachment FSB-U1, and Nikon Coolpix P300 camera).
Limb density lent itself wonderfully to various filtering treatments in Photoshop:

(Filter: colored pencil) |

(Filter: water color) |
|
(Filter: cutout) |
|
(Filter: fresco) |
|
(Filter: poster edges) |
|
(Filter: rough pastels) |
As did the photo of woodpecker holes:

I also experimented with a magnification loupe, only to find that it offers
me no advantage—especially after laser surgery yesterday on my right eye (the one I have to use with the camera swung away to the right).
Sharp, sharp, sharp. (My doctor removed some occluding membrane from behind the lens he inserted two years ago by cataract surgery. The procedure is known to practitioners as "
Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy for cataracts.")
Here's the setup:
Wow, that is some setup.
