Fun With Optics

A digital camera and a pair of binoculars seem like unrelated items, but wait! They can live together harmoniously!

These photos were taken with a Sony digital camera, and were augmented by a 10x standard binocular placed up to the lens. The targets in each case are centered in the framing photos. Captions explain further.

I expect I would have more clear results if I had a tripod or some other stablization. Also, I could get cleaner framing if I weren't just holding the binocular eyepiece up to the camera lens, and instead had some sort of mount.
