One from this morning without a fish View attachment 11439
Comment appreciated ,ThanksHi Den, first shot I was a little distracted by the branch on the left however the 3rd and especially the second are very good. I'm quite partial to the pose struck in number 2 myself as well and the shadow doesn't really bother me.
Hi Gramps ,that's one slider I have never touched when photographing Kingfishers ,all my kingfisher shots have not had saturation added in PP at all they are as the they came out of camera ,maximum 25 vibrancy ,it would be nice to show people just exactly how the come out as a raw image but I don't know how to do it ,ie post a unprocessed raw kingfisher shot ,plus different light at different times of the day produce so many different shades and colours on the birds ,in the area I get my kingfishers I always say (to friends who come down and get shots ) that any time after 11.00 am if the sun is out is not good for photographing the birds ,if I haven't got my shots by 11.00am I pack up
Hi,thanks for the comment,yes they are feeding young ,i may try and change the perch this weekend if i get time,its nice to have a choice of subject to chhose from,but i just cant resist getting kingfisher shotsLovely photos Den. I guess they are still feeding the young'uns with the fish pointing the way they are.
For me too, the perch you have in the second two is much better. Framing similar on both those two but to see the lovely golden/orange breast in 2 is stunning.
As you say, watching these in different light they can look very different, even to the naked eye. Like a different bird if not for their tell tale flight and calls.
That's bad news is that Jason, I bet they weren't far off leaving the nest , I check everyday and its my worst thought when we get heavy constant rain,they still have time for another broodAnother fab shot Dennis, went to do mine today to find it flooded...
