Wow! A king Fisher in flight is a tough shot to get. Well done!

Outstanding show of skill on these flights Ken. The fisher shots are especially impressive.

Well, you had a good day there, Ken. Very impressive Kingfisher shots especially, on my to-do list ;)

The last Kingfisher shot is great! It appears to be in a dive... Did you pan or is that just a high shutter speed capture? Or both?
I also like the comp, giving the subject somewhere to go in the frame is always pleasing, to me anyway.


Building the collection slowly..... 7D gripped, 550D gripped and some gLass.... and some other glass.... and some lights....more strobes than you can shake a stick at.... Just a hobby gone out of control....

Fantastic job on the kingfishers which are super tough birds to get good shots of!

Both! He was about to hit the water coming from a branch. Really quick!
