Digital Camera Magazine - Kingfisher

Gareth said: "It was a great day to be out photographing Kingfishers, I wanted to focus on diving shots & this male was active all day, regularly coming in for fish and taking them away, so I was in luck, having several opportunities to get some shots.

One main challenge was just the speed that the Kingfishers dive, I had to be alert taking lots of shots to try to capture the dives I wanted. But that also meant to freeze the action the shutter speed had to be very fast.

The light was great which helps the set up for the shot, but I had to find a good balance with the aperture.

Digital Camera says: A great capture of this Kingfisher, carrying it's food back up the it's perch. The fast shutter speed has freeze framed this moment perfectly.
