That is a wind indicator flag about 100 yards downrange looking through a Nightforce Scope. Ordinarily you wouldn't be sighting in on a wind flag. I was at my gun club, Riverbend, north of Atlanta, last week for a competition.
Nightforce scopes are a little pricey and heavy but very popular because they are rugged, reliable and don't shift point of bullet strike when they are jarred, like lesser scopes do.
Rifle competitors just hate it when they spend many $thousands on their gear and hundreds of hours in practice and load development only to lose badly because their scope is dancing around. But not Nightforce.

I take photos of my Kenwood oscilloscope with my cameras, with different lenses. This way, it's the same subject, yet seen with a different rendering. I always adjust all my photos to bring out the best of what was captured. Nothing elaborate, done in under 5 minutes - just basic white balance, contrast, saturation, and fine tuning color / luminance noise reduction - all in DPP4. Here, we are looking at the 5D classic with the Sigma ART 35mm lens, wide open at F1.4.

EL Nikkor 75mm f4 enlarging lens, PB-4 assembly, Spotting scope zoom lens.
Aquiring the subject.
This was a bit of a problem when I came up with the MkI. As magnification increases above 1:1 this becomes an ever greater problem due to the ever lessening depth of field.
Option one was to put a spike on a mount to bayonet on the front of the bellows, but that idea was discarded as unless sthe subject distance was within the coarse focus movement of the bellows sliding plate it could still take time to aquire the subject.
Back in the 1980's I bought a 'lens scope converter' from Jessops. Quite a handy bit of kit. Simply attatch to a lens and you can use it as a monocular. So in use, a 50mm camera lens becomes a x5 monocular, 100mm lens x10 and so on. Sounds impressive, but in reality the exit pupil is only about 2.5mm so the image is quite dim unless used with lenses with an aperture greater than f2.8 or in bright conditions. Next option was to try a spotting scope eyepiece and due to its far larger exit pupil, and that gives a really bright image. The image is not erect image ( upside down ) but never the less a significantly brighter image than that from the lenscope.
With that mounted and set to 20x and the bellows at minimum extension I found the subject would be dead on when the bellows was at full back extension using a 75mm lens. As the reversed 50, 28 and 24 have only a few mm between them in terms of lens to subject distance, the subject aquisition problem well and truely solved. Use that with a reversed lens and you have a seriously good bench magnifier.

The slightly odd Phone-O-Scope, which is an adapter to affix SLR lenses to iPhones.
Build instructions and more details are here.
Duct tape madness. Attach the bottom connector to the camera phone case (inset, middle bottom) using thin strips of duct tape. Make sure you get a nice tight fit, but don't go overboard with the tape. Use a bit more tape to also firmly attach the lens cap to the top PVC connector (inset, middle top). Don't forget to attach a bit of cardboard at the back to prevent too much light leakage into the mechanism. Screw the top connector to the bottom, and the Phone-O-Scope is complete (right).

Designed especially for taking out targets quickly, efficiently, and quietly. Credit to whats his coolness for making the logo. Also I think I'm finished with this, but please point out anything I should fix.
lecroy 9450 scope screendump. Un-freaking-believably annoying. Using National Instruments GPIB utility, I have to read the scope buffer into a 300 character window (max the NI app can accept) and copy that into a wordpad, about 20 times. Then I save that as a .plt since the scope output is in HPGL language. Then I have to download and configure an HPGL viewer and translator (irfanview -- a good program) and *then* I have to figure out how to get stupid crappy Windows to stop secretly renaming it scope.plt.txt instead of just scope.plt because without the correct file type, irfanview opens it as, well, text. Windows *sucks*. The moment I can get linux talking to the weird GPIB hardware, I'll be so very, very happy.
A blood splatter effect i made in photoshop just using the tools they have made from scratch in about 20 min using no photos .... If you would my written tutorial on this or lighting or if you have any questions post a comment and ill help you out
"The Scopes Trial was an American legal case in 1925 in which high school biology teacher John Scopes was accused of violating the state's Butler Act which made it unlawful to teach evolution. Scopes was found guilty, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality and he was never punished. The trial drew intense national publicity, as national reporters flocked to the small town of Dayton, to cover the big-name lawyers representing each side. William Jennings Bryan, three time presidential candidate for the Democrats argued for the prosecution, while Clarence Darrow, the famed defense attorney, spoke for Scopes. The trial saw modernists, who said religion was consistent with evolution, against Fundamentalists who said the Word of God as revealed in the Bible trumped all human knowledge. The trial was thus both a religious or theological contest, and a trial on the veracity of modern science regarding the creation-evolution controversy, with the Fundamentalists coming out second best in the minds of educated urban Americans, and withdrawing into their rural strongholds. The teaching of science and evolution expanded, as Fundamentalist efforts to use state laws to reverse the trend had failed in the court of public opinion." From Wikipedia
