Description
Kingfisher - Alcedo atthisI liked this moment so much........and I was so happy that I was able to witness and photograph it...
The only pity was that I couldn't get closer (that would have disturbed them), or actually: that I don't own a 500mm prime that would have given this photograph the nice & smooth bokeh it deserves.
Edit: So to honour this beautiful nature I decided to blur the background artificially to give all attention to these gorgeous birds...

All kingfishers rank as my second favorite animal, very close behind my favorite.

I've been browsing your images and I've noticed a few are taken at 420mm, which I am assuming is a maximum focal, I was just wondering what lens that is? Are you using a 300mm with a 1.4 converter?

Ah, thank you. I have the Canon 100-400mm zoom, and have been considering the 1.4x or 2x converter, can you give me your thoughts on the 1.4? Have you ever regretted not getting the 2x? I had a 2x in my Canon FD kit, but I have been spoiled by IS and AF, and would prefer not to sacrifice this should I need them.

To be honest am not the expert to take to in converters, but look at these two links in a forum called (photography-on-the. net), its canon only and you can learn pretty much everything in there [link] [link] or you could create an account and start asking questions, am not advertising here but deviantart does not talk very specifec in technical photography stuff.

Before I got the 100-400, my main zoom was a Canon EF 75-300mm, which gets horrid reviews everywhere, yet I've done some pretty good motorsports photography with it, and have met another on

This shot right here is circuling around the world in an email titled "The colors only that God can do." They cropped out your copyright, but I knew as soon as I saw it it was yours.
