My first Kingfisher

[artyman]

This is the first time I've seen a Kingfisher when I had my camera with me, a long way off and a severe crop from a shot that was already utilising the 1.4x on the Sigma, only stopped for a few seconds.

1/1600 f11 ISO1600

Nice one!

I've only ever seen a KF once. And even then it was a long way away, and shot off as soon as it saw me

Where was this little darling seen Ken?

Your first kingfisher - your hooked. Looks good considering the high iso and crop - nothing wrong with your technique.

Regards

Mike

This was shot at Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve

Well captured Ken, all you need is a pair of waders now
