Its been a long time coming but I finally got some shots of a (more than one) belted kingfisher. They were far away hence a 2X on my 600mm with my Sony A1. And the light was poor so I was having to push the ISO to keep my shutter speeds where I prefer, but (unfortunately) I decided to drop my shutter speed (lowering the ISO as well) in order to get a little better quality of a perched female. Then, to my delight, and disappointment, this male decides to come in and kicked the female off the perch. So, with the action, 1/1000 was not fast enough (imo) to freeze the bird to my liking. But, it was fast enough to save the image with some post. Anyway, I am stoked to have some kingfishers cooperate and thought I would share one of my favorites. Hope you enjoy and constructive reviews are always appreciated.
