Hi Guys,
Yes..i know..it's another Kingfisher, but these little blue beauties just keep being a challenge to photograph
This one had a bad case of fish-bones making him burp twice!

Very nice and very different from the usaul looking King Fisher shots, which is a good thing IMO .

Nice one Jeroen!!
Had it been possible, maybe a touch of fill would have helped with the side lighting, but still a fine result.
Bit surprised you felt the need for noise ninja, with this particular camera at 400iso {from what i have read}.

Hi Alan,
Not really needed to use Noise Ninja, but i allways use it to soften my BG's a bit instead of using for instance Gaussian Blur wich is much harder.
