The swans are looking for a handout from the mother, momentarily distracted from her smartphone; the extraordinarily well-behaved dog is transfixed; daughter watches from a safe distance; father has eyes only for his wife and son is absorbed in that most wonderful of things in a little boy's life, mud!

Keeping busy when staying home. We just had a spring snowstorm come through in Colorado. The birds and squirrels are out looking for food. We put out some seeds and they are foraging for them. Leica Q2, 1/125, f/1.7, ISO 400, using Swarovski ATS-80 Spotting Scope with Leica Q digiscoping adapter, on tripod, through two planes of glass. Fun too!

How far are they away from your "multiple glass" ?

Right up next to it. 2-4”. A picture window in our living room. I could have gone outside, but the squirrels are skittish and will run away. Besides, it’s cold. 😁

No doubt the glass does degrade the IQ. The spotting scope wax at 20X. It’s lowest magnification.

Mark,

This is not difficult. Honest. With the Leica spotting scope the adapter will fit perfectly. I have a Swarovski ATS-80 scope. It’s equal quality to the Leica. Similar cost too. The eyepiece is slightly smaller diameter and I have to add some padding to make it tight. 
I use a good tripod and a 1/250 shutter to keep the image sharp. It’s easy. If you have the spotting scope. I do not use the digiscoping setting in the camera.

Well, I can almost guarantee that display is not accurate for color adjustments. You really need a high quality monitor and ideally a calibrated one. 

I just purchased a SpyderX Pro to calibrate both my Dell 27 4k and Dell 24 4k monitors (brand new). I followed the instructions carefully and successfully completed the process. The result was that both monitors look terrible. Colors were way off. So the $150 SpyderX Pro is now in the trash. 

Windows 10 has a color calibration process which I then followed. This process allowed me to get close to acceptable. I then went into each monitors control menus and first adjusted brightness and contrast which further improved the results. Then onto the custom color setting controls that allow individual settings for each of red, blue, and green. Using these I almost had perfection. Now that I was close, I went back to the brightness and contrast. I changed brightness slightly. It was the final change of contrast that allowed me to get perfection on both monitors.

Bummer on the Spyder X Pro. I’ve had good results using a Colormunki. One discovery for me was lowering the brightness of the display and generally doing my photo editing in a somewhat darkened room. I would guess that’s generally a good practice.

For the past several years we've gotten these "volunteer" tulips - apparent descendants from bulbs we planted, we don't remember when.  Every spring now I try to go out and get some shots before the rain destroys them or the deer eat them - while they are young and pristine.

In the past I have used a Canon 5DMKx and the 100mm 2.8 L macro, but these I did with the Q2 and SF40 flash. I'll still probably do some with the Canon today when I get time - way less cropping for similar results. :)

Oh. Very, very nice!! I love close up shots of flowers, especially back lit. Keep them coming. Yours are beautiful.

Ha - more like no lit! Sun was about down and actually behind me somewhat and completely overcast. The little pop of flash helps a lot though and the little SF40 is surprisingly cooperative.  That's always the issue with this: when has the wind stopped?, or the rain?, or...gotta see the moment and jump on it.  And the deer will eat them all soon - already got half!
