Uploaded this image earlier the week and some members already commented, but somehow it is just "gone" now... So here it is again!:bugeyed:
Location: Mankwe Hide, Pilanesberg Game Reserve
Equipment: Canon 7D and 500mm F4 lens
Settings: 1/5000s at F5.6 and ISO 400 with -2/3 EV
Rudi, you captured both the birds with nice eye contact also the BG, perch and DOF are very nice...I see hint of sharpening halo..
Very nice action shot! Sweet light too!
Rudi, very nice action shot with good details.
This is outstanding. Great details, lighting, action, perch and bkgd! I really like the active positions of the 2 kingfishers, creating intersting lines and interesting compostion and no important parts are obscured. Very well done!
Very nice shot. I really like the comp, great job on getting both birds in focus, lovely light, and exposed very well.
Well done.
Wonderful shot. I love the composition and the fact that both birds are interesting. I'm very jealous. I have trouble getting a good image of ONE kingfisher and you got two (or are your African kingfishers less skittish than their North American cousins?)!
Great action here, nice light and dof
Thanks for the feedback everyone! It is appreciated!
Ian, it depends where you shoot them, but in general they are a bit skittish! At Mankwe where these two were shot they are pretty much used to the people on the walk way and will do there thing some 2 or 3 meters away from you - which of course is a problem with the long lenses... so the 100-400 comes in real handy as a second!:S3:
