Location
This was taken at Healesville Sanctuary. There were a pair of Kingfishers who had little ones hidden away. One was always on watch.Time
This was taken at the least optimal time for photos! Middle of the day, which is why I went for a high key look.Lighting
The lighting was not too harsh as there were some clouds around.Equipment
This was shot on a Sony a7riii with the 200-600 at 600.Inspiration
These birds are beautiful but shy and fast so it was a lovely opportunity to see them during the day.Editing
Just lifting the highlights in Lightroom to enhance the high key effect.In my camera bag
I usually have the Sonya7riii and the 200-600 for wildlife. A Sirui Tripod and sometimes a remote shutter cable.Feedback
This is a great spot to practice bird photography because the birds are more used to people. There are also lots of wild birds around as there is plentiful food.
