KINGFISHERS LOVE THE 40D!
They're small, they're fast, and they're flighty as hell, but even
from the safety of across a pond the diminutive Kingfisher cannot escape the 40D, the Forgotten 400 w/the 1.4x TC, and the window clamp ballhead mounted on the new Altima. http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/91462097/original |

Rita, take note that the sticks in the background are not showing up double, this is how a photo should look. Great capture Bret. Scott |

Gorgeous color and detail of the bird's feathers. Superb composition. Belted Kingfishers are extremely flighty, very fast and easily frightened. To die for capture. And FWIW, there is no "trickery" done here, because I KNOW how Kingfishers look. Just pure talent, diligence and patience from a great wildlife photographer. Helen |

We all know that it didn't. The kingfisher is so over Photoshoped that it lacks any detail and is lucky to have 16-colors. I'll stick with top notch images straight out of the camera and let the trickery up to the people that can't take a decent picture and need to draw them in Photoshop.

One finds Kingfishers flying away at a great rate of knots.
There was a pair last summer nesting about 300 yards from my house. I have exactly one picture of a dot sitting on a wire. w..
