Dancing Blue …. (Iso 10000 Image)

[Ritesh Nangare]

Blue Eared Kingfisher (male Bird)
Kokan, Mahareshtra, India,
August 2015


I Follow this bird up stream for distance with all my CAMO suite, camera, tripod on me …. after some distance I found the place where he actually hunt. The area is covered with dense vegetation and too dark for the image but I have 1 Dx on my side so I bump up the iso to 10000 and had great collection of shots. In this shot I freeze him while he trying to balance on the parch after failed fishing attempt….

Nice Riesh, that's one colorful KF. Great job with high ISO, there are some signs of NR but not bad, the main issue here is the OOF leaf that has interested with the KF- it's distracting

Pretty frigging amazing for ISO 10K. Bummer on the aforementioned leaf and the centered subject... Otherwise quit stunning.
