Fab set Alan , especially like last one super, well worth the time and effort

Tried this , its difficult but thought you might like to see my attempts so far, light was'nt good but here's my first failures don't get much of a time window so your rushing a bit, think i need to use a shorter lens maybe tammy 70-200 : any TIPS most welcome the exposure on the water one difficult has well. oh and he turned up within 2 hours this time must be getting used to me, did about 5 dive's all over the shop oh got one fish.

1 water exposure difficult chopped his beak off

that's my favourite da 300 incredible, wish it was longer though but its fun figuring out how to get close

grass blowing in the wind buggered his tail up on this one, so made it an head shot or his there any way you can remove it like put an haze in front of his tail:: i was a bit unsure about spending that sort of money on the da 300 but must say what a cracking bit of kit.

Thanks guys much appreciated i want to get him with a fish but he was eating it so quick might try again next weekend yeah had to stretch my legs after a while so that's when i did the wide angles, bit of cramp relief

The kingfisher was hard work 10 hours of torture,but what a beautiful little fellow he his : taken with k5 da 300 others with k-r 10-20 sigma , i'm pretty chuffed with these hope you like the set

nice, really like no 2 superb :

blimey long job then Alan i was talking to fisherman there and he said it had been knocking around all day , i;d never seen one before did'nt realise what a bright blue they are, striking, trouble his there,its quite deep so getting a perch in might be a bit of a PROBLEM his a hide a must or can i just put my camo fishing gear on and hide in bushes or his that a none starter

blimey his that right its a private stretch so that would'nt be good i was thinking of going fishing for day do 2 things in one but don;t suppose it would come near me then .
