Location
This photo was taken by a small lake in a park called "Kapperskolk". Located in the town Doetinchem in the Netherlands.Time
It was on a morning at about 11:00 am.Lighting
I sat near a tree under a camouflage net. The light began to become real harsh but the leaves gave a good umbrella effect. Therefore the kingfisher was perfectly lit. No sign of any harsh light.Equipment
I used a nikon d500 and the nikon 300mm pf f/4 VR.Inspiration
The kingfisher is an all-time favorite bird of mine. So when there is an opportunity I will take it.Editing
A little bit of cropping and some color enhancement. A little bit more contrast. And thats al there was to it.In my camera bag
Or my 600mm f4 with tripod and gimbal head. And a wide angled lens and a macro lens.Feedback
Get out as much as you can and learn your subjects behavior. And than try to predict what will happen, so that your prepared. And have patience, and a great portion of luck ofcourse.
