Thought I had better sneak this in before the end of the month. On a recent trip to South Africa, Stu Bowie was kind enough to arrange a trip to his spot at Mankwe Hide in Pilanesberg Game Reserve, for my daughter, Edin, and I the morning after we arrived. Having done this with him before, I now that it is the best jet-lag cure after a long trip from New Zealand that almost fully inverts day and night. We had a typical highveld cold start but a lovely clear sunny day with some great memories.
This Pied Kingfisher was sitting mostly shaded by the trunk of the perch he was sitting on so I used some flash to fill the shaded area
Nikon D800, Nikon 500 f4 VR
Matrix +0 1/800 f8 ISO 720 (autoISO) flash -1 HH
Thanks for looking and any suggestions.
