Photo of the Month
October 2005
Kingfishers by Steven
Fryer
Send this Photo as a Postcard
This shot was taken at Lintzford on the Derwent River where Steven Fryer took
four weeks to prepare for the shot. Here's his explanation of how he got the
shot...
"I'd frequently seen three kingfishers in this area so I got into the river
to set the stage with perches for the kingfishers and a position where I would
be. I was knee deep in the river wearing full camouflage, and just stayed put
for a few hours each day, waiting for a shot I was happy with. It eventually
came, but it wasn't on any of the perches I'd set up, so I had to adjust the
camera on the tripod then started shooting."
The equipment used was a Canon EOS 300 SLR with a 100-400mm EF lens and a 1.4xll
extender taking it to 600mm.
Steven added: "While I was there two otters passed me on a few occasions,
but I was so focused on the kingfishers I didn't get any shots. Another
time."
