Hovering Kingfisher

[bill kominsky]

I'm begining to believe Alfred that the more time I spend shooting the luckier I become. Shot today at Green Cay this little guy put on quite a display for almost 40 minutes and i was the only one there that my friends is PRICELESS. I cannot give the stats as yet because my Aperture program is down for now but can venture a guess.

Canon MK-II - ISO=400 probably f/8 at 1/1600 0-Ev. 700-MM but when I'm up and running I will post the real stats. Thank you all for your patience, comments and visits.

Bill... That's really, really nice! The more time you expend shooting the better you get! practice is so important! Thanks for sharing!

[Mike Lentz]

No small task getting one of these guys in flight! I might be inclined to ramp up the saturation/contrast a bit to give it some pop.

[Doug Brown]

Good job Bill! Like the wing position, sharpness, and exposure. Only wish for a bit more eye contact.

Bravo Bill. Great capture of the belted kingfisher with good exposure and detail. Congrats !!!

[Stu Bowie]

Lovely hovering position Bill, and nice and sharp. Well captured.

I would like to take a moment to thank everyone for their great and very encourging comments it really means so much. I have waited for years to get this bird and the inflight was a bonus, we do not see them like this often, thank goodness for the 10-frames per sec. now I have many all sharp and all well composed, and to my wonderful friend JudyLynn this is in manual mode.
