taken from my iPhone
[I actually did every thing from my iphone, no distortion added, i found that if i moved my phone at a right angle on the shutter I could create this cool effect]
Image made with Swarovski spotting scope attached to my camera.
I made the trip out to the Beaverhill Bird Observatory with Lu Carbyn, owner of The Wildbird General Store (at the time). The scope was his inventory and he was keen to see if it could be effectively mounted to my dSLR.
The final image looks OK but the RAW image reveals a critical lack of sharpness. Nothing to do with the optics of the scope, rather it was due to inexperience on my part and with falling daylight. You really need good light and a sturdy support to properly use a spotting scope.
Each year, the TSBA (Tennessee School Boards Association) hosts the SCOPE conference (Student Congress on Policies in Education). This informative conference is for students from across the state of Tennessee in grades 9-12. The students meet to discuss current issues in education through mock school board meetings, group discussions, and debates with other participants. These events give students an understanding of how school boards operate.
Our proud Fayette-Ware Comprehensive High School student attendees were Everette Doyle, Autumn Griggs, Darby Self, and Chason Yates. We are also thankful to chaperones Chas Self and Wesley Holmes for their leadership.
