Re: IMG: Belted Kingfisher

Doug:
Outstanding behavior in a very pleasingly-composed image. I have yet to get a picture of one of these guys that's anywhere near this good. 

Great stuff!

The belted Kingfisher is notoriously difficult to get close to. I used a blind for this photo, and made liberal use of Photoshop's cropping tools.
Now that I know where the bird's favorite perches are I can set up the blind closer to teh perch, and with a better background. For now, this is what I've got:

technical stuff:  R8/DMR @ISO 400
280mm f/4 APO with 1.4x APO-Extender-R
tripod & blind

All comments welcome.
