Taken on the Chobe River, Botswana. We were on a specialty equipt boat provided by CNP Safaries. Taken early morning. The boat has single swivel seats with a special attached monologue and gimble head. The tour supplied long Nikon lens and camera. We had two trips per day.Time

It was a sunny morning.NEquipment
Nikon D500 Nikkor 500 f/4 attached monopod with gimbal head to rotating seatInspiration
I had static images of the kingfishers, while this shot showed interaction.Editing
Only basic processing in LightroomIn my camera bag
Normally I have a lot of equipment, but since the company supplied a camera and long lenses. All I needed to bring was a body, wide angle lens, and a 70-200.Feedback
Join tour that has a lot of experience on the Chobe
