Kingy

[Dave Green]

I was fortunate enough late last year to photograph this awesome looking critter.

I used a borrowed Nikon D7000 with Nikon 300mm F4 and x1.4 as my full frame D700 doesn't have the reach.

I have no words to praise these. They are all stunning, but the light on the fish in the last one is simply awesome!

More great Bird shots Dave, keep 'em coming.
I spent six hours in a hide a few weeks ago waiting for Kingfishers but they didn't want to come close for me.

Lovely Kingfisher shots!

I've also been trying to capture a Kingfisher local to me. There's even a permanent hide set up, but I don't seem to have the patience to get the shot. Not sure my 200mm lens is long enough either, as the couple of times he's been there he's been just to far away. I'll keep trying though.

The almost metallic colors are wonderful - and that pose with the fish!

Love the OOF backdrop in #1 - that color really makes the bird stand out
