John is a lifelong avid outdoorsman and amateur wildlife photographer who has perfected the simple secrets to getting great, highly magnified nature images using his smartphone paired with a binocular or spotting scope. He’ll share his enthusiasm for this terrific way to quickly capture images and share them with friends (perhaps to get help with a puzzling ID question?). He claims, “Anybody can do this,” and can’t wait to show us how fun and easy it can be! Though you don’t need to have Swarovski equipment to attend , John will be demonstrating using his iPhone and the great new gear that Swarovski has developed to make smartphone digiscoping a snap. Each month Tahoma Audubon offers a free presentation on a variety of environmental topics, drawing from regional speakers and members. Topics range from local birding to international conservation to eco-travel to local conservation issues. Meetings are free and open to the public.
