For many outdoor adventurers and leisurists, spring is arguably the most highly-anticipated time of the year. In the colder climes, it marks the end of frigid (and often messy) conditions – a welcome transition toward comfortable days outdoors enjoying any number of activities. In many regions, spring is also a great window for outdoor activities, sitting firmly between winter and the blazing temperatures of summer. It’s a sweet spot offering many rewards.
For much of the same demographic, spring is a great time to capture images and videos of this brilliant and colorful period. For outdoor enthusiasts with advanced or novice photography skills, there’s no better type of springtime gear than a smartphone digiscoping kit.
The Visual Benefits of Spring
Spring is all about the radiant colors, perennial flowers, the light green tones of new tree growth, mixed textures, and bluebird skies. Speaking of bluebirds, Springtime brings out a variety of interesting birds of different colors and characteristics.
Springtime digiscoping has much to do with taking advantage of new growth, colors, and nice weather.
This period is often comfortable; not too cold or hot.
While you can sometimes get close to the beautiful features of spring, being able to reach out and capture them from a distance is a gift. Other than sensible clothing, all you need is your smartphone camera, optics, and a Phone Skope digiscoping adapter kit.
The Benefits of Digiscoping During Spring
Photography anyone? In addition to the beauty of the outdoors coming to life in the spring, digiscoping is minimalistic. This is a good thing. No golf clubs, fishing rods, hunting weapons, or tents are required. The only thing you need is your optics, an adapter kit (that fits in your pocket or backpack), and the smartphone you were already tethered to. Photography is an outdoor venture on its own. So is digiscoping, only less expensive and more manageable.
No Pain, no gain. While digiscoping is a hobby on its own, so is exercising. Amid the colorful wildflowers and new foliage, a Phone Skope adapter kit is small and lightweight. Put on a pair of sneakers or hikers and get after it. If you push the envelope, digiscoping is a great opportunity for exercise, even cardio. Plus, if you’re willing to hoof it, a day of digiscoping beats the heck out of a gym. This is a two-for-one. Again, this unique hobby provides a boost during the milder temperatures offered by springtime. If you must, think of it as leg day with extra benefits.
Amid new growth and textures, springtime digiscoping is an opportunity for fresh air and exercise.
In any event. One of the great things about outdoor photography is that you can often just pick up and go. Springtime offers special opportunities to capture stunning outdoor images. Plan around them. From picnics to Easter family gatherings, take these chances to simply you’re your digiscoping kit. Great images await. The same goes for recording outdoor imagery that will document these moments.
Somewhere over the rainbow. I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention that spring features more rainbows than its seasonal counterparts. These magnificent arches of nature often look underwhelming with a smartphone camera alone. Let the magnification of digiscoping enhance these and other unique natural features.
The outdoor companion. Like a Phone Skope adapter kit makes companions of your smartphone and optics, digiscoping is a companion of any number of springtime activities. For example, it goes well with birding, camping, and vacationing. In my case, it pairs well with whitetail scouting and turkey hunting. Remember, an adapter kit is small, lightweight, and manageable. Take it along on your hikes, hunts, and cycling exploits.
Most outdoor events and activities are a chance to learn and improve your digiscope photography game. Spring represents rebirth. While each outdoor photography prospect will bring challenges, you will grow as a smartphone digiscoper, much like the seasonal buds and flowers of spring.
