Sander Meijer<p>Every one has a guilty pleasure in his backpack. Something that is probably not really required, but just increases joy. My wife got me a new one: proper binoculars. During hikes I love to sit on a bench and just take in the landscape for a longer period of time. Lately I'm focussing on a-typical features on ridges etc. Zooming in with binoculars let's me check them in more detail. It lets one dream: "has anyone ever been up there".</p><p>My colleague showed me his Nikon Prostaff P7 10x42 and was blown away by the clarity and brightness (which is easy, as I'm not a pro in these matters and everything beats 30 euro binoculars). Played with it this morning at it turns out I can now clearly see the buildings on Schynige Platte and the Faulhorn from my A1 spot on the kitchen table. This is going to be fun!</p><p><a href="https://www.digitalcameraworld.com/reviews/nikon-prostaff-p7-10x42-review" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">digitalcameraworld.com/reviews</span><span class="invisible">/nikon-prostaff-p7-10x42-review</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Binoculars</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Nikon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nikon</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Hiking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Hiking</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Landscape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Landscape</span></a> <a href="https://mountains.social/tags/Mountains" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mountains</span></a></p>

Richard "RichiH" Hartmann<p>There's a juvenile <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/fox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fox</span></a> which has been hunting for mice in the patchily-snowy area visible from my <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/homeoffice" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>homeoffice</span></a> for the last few days and my <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>binoculars</span></a> are really giving me my money's worth.</p><p>Watching it run around, play with itself, crouch in waiting for mice, and then do the arched-back-up-and-snout-down jump only to learn that packed earth is harder than snow is a nice and relaxing distraction from our interesting times.</p>

It works like a PinHole camera, but projects onto paper( no direct looking at sun but at projected image) </p><p>There is also a similar trick that can be done using a <a href="https://mas.to/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>binoculars</span></a> ( but backwards ). Do NOT look through the binoculars. use it to project an image on a piece of paper. </p><p><a href="https://www.warbyparker.com/assets/pdf/solar-eclipse-2024.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">warbyparker.com/assets/pdf/sol</span><span class="invisible">ar-eclipse-2024.pdf</span></a></p>
Time Isn’t Real Croosh<p>Hey, <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/birders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birders</span></a>, I’m in the market for small, but powerful, lightweight travel binocs. Something that I can easily fit in a small bag and that won’t hurt my neck if that’s how I’m carrying them. And that won’t disappoint optics wise. I’d also love to not spend a gazillion dollars. Any recommendations? <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/birding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birding</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/binoculars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>binoculars</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/binocs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>binocs</span></a> <a href="https://pnw.zone/tags/Birdstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Birdstodon</span></a></p>
