Taking the download and magnifying it, the silver disc appears to me to be a pile of bare sand/rock in a horseshoe bend of the river.

Thanks so much for posting this. It's worth looking at many times.

Great images! It brought back the feelings of terror and triumph!

Mine was a Kodak 127 in the mid-1950's, a model that was made from 1952-1959. Doing a little research recently, I found it was the model made from 1952-1955 (it has a smooth face-plate, not a cross-hatched face-plate). Millions were made. Original price: $4.75
Excellent!
That platform is such an outstanding spot to shoot from.

Beautiful bird and photos!

Drip Dry McFleye's system is similar to what I've used with an 80-400 on a D7100 for years. The settings on the lens I use: A/M; Full; VR ON, Normal; Unlocked. The camera: Aperture priority; C Low; AF-C; Center weighted; ASO usually 400-800, F 7.1-9, attempt to have shutter speed >1/1000. I play around with exposure compensation but usually need to post process.
If it's cloudy, just at sunrise, and the birds are coming fast - get out your shotgun and take photos later.

A beautiful set of images. I recall trying to capture photos of the kingfishers when I was in India, and I failed miserably. Wonderful technique and artistic value in your images! Thanks.

Thanks to Los-Angeles-Shooter and E.L. Shapiro for taking the time to inform the group about this. It's good general information even if we're not professionals.
In the 1950's my mom used to take me there for lunch in the Spring when the blossoms are out. Thanks for the images and memories.
Mike
Thanks. I don't get over there nearly often enough. A new incentive.

Wow! Those are excellent images of that bobbing little bird. What creek/river?
