Image was created on 2nd Julu,2015.Perch was planted in front of his nest at certain distance. So I can call it as settings in the forest area. Photographed first time from hide.
Setting was for the same bird but in shadow, unfortunately suddenly there was sun lights and I have to take the chance. Overexposed but manage in editing. No lighting of eye or darkening of pupil. Shadow on the throat was lift slightly.
Cropped from horizontal to vertical.
I hope you will like this small and beautiful bird. It is also called as Black-backed Kingfisher. He is carrying dressed Crab for his babies.
ISO: 400, 1/320 @5.6. Spot metering. Manual. HH. 550d, 100-400 mm.
