Took this Kingfisher on Sat 22-8-2015, it breifly landed on this perch which was a fair way out in the lake even for my 600mm lens, still cant have it all your own way, it was taken with a Canon EOS 70D with Sigma 150 - 600mm sports version lens which is my new set up, I am happy with its results as detail is very good on most closer shots and not bad on distant ones, I would of liked to of had this one much closer as even the 600mm struggled and left the image still looking tiny in the frame so had to crop in a bit...anyway thought I would share it with you, its by far my clearest Kingfisher shot to date. Settings: Focal length 600mm ISO 320 Shutter speed 1/800 sec Aperture F/9.0  |

This is an absolutely stunning photograph.  I've never been that close to a kingfisher- only seen glimpses of them at a distance from a hide, so the best I've ever managed has been what looks like an iridescent turquoise blur on a twig! Such beautiful little birds. |

A really great picture. The detail in the plumage is remarkable. Magnificent!

Such beautiful little birds. Thanks, most of my previous attempts were the same dull, distant and blurry but luckily in the last few weeks I have seen quite a few of them at my favourite nature reserve, but this one was right place right time, would have to be very lucky to have it happen again... |
