Fish Divers !

Undisclosed Site - 3.11.21

I'm back on the road this morning for another session with the photogenic Kingfisher but this time....diving Kingfishers !

Now at my destination still quite early the fog still lingers, no matter as the light is still not good enough to achieve the shutter speed needed for these lightning fast birds, time to take a break and take in the autumn sights and sounds of the lake water fowl and the occasional skein of pink feet heading south in search of their next meal.

This morning I working with the mini tripod mounted Canon R5 using the electronic shutter at 20fps and a couple of PocketWizard radios, I'm using a iPad connected to the camera via Bluetooth to review and edit the images "on the fly" which appear after a few seconds, this way I can delete unwanted images as the number of images can soon mount up.

Still a learning curve regarding the best settings for low light and not "blowing" the whites, and most frustratingly trying to guess when the Kingfisher will take to the air and dive. Not the best images which is mainly down to the low light conditions resulting in a high ISO (image quality) but work in progress. Looking forward to the next time !
