Kingfisher is a favorite of bird shooting lovers and they all want to shoot it well, but it is indeed a bit difficult.

The first is that there are few opportunities. There are more opportunities to see cities with lakes and rivers, the waterfront is well groomed, and the camera position may be better, but it is not common. Rivers and lakes in the countryside can often be seen, but they are more alert, there are few cameras, and birds often sigh. Therefore, the opportunity to practice is greatly reduced.

The second is that it is too small. Common in China is the common kingfisher, which is small in size and not very showy, and it may have seen you in the wild, but you have not yet discovered it.

Then there's the fast flight speed. When people find a kingfisher, it is often when it is flying, and it often chirps while flying, as if it is a provocation to the photographer, often flashing against the surface of the water. The likelihood of a successful capture when a kingfisher in flight is spotted is close to zero. Therefore, it is difficult for kingfishers to hide in branches when resting, and it is difficult to shoot when flying at a fast speed.

So when do you usually photograph kingfishers? When you go out fishing! Kingfisher fishing requires clean and calm water, and there should be a place to rest above the water, and the vigilance of people is relatively relaxed when fishing, which is the best time to photograph them. Moreover, entering the water, exiting the water, branching, eating fish, and flying away are often very exciting.

Well, I hope that the photographers will meet beautiful every day and shoot wonderfully!
