p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Today's Bing Image: Kingfishers on Great White


So, I am going to apologize in advance if you don't see what I'm seeing in your region, but in case you do, check out today's (8/19/2016) Bing home page image:

Bing.com

And I believe I've found a permalink to the actual picture, since the home page will change:

Kingfishers by Sijanto/Getty Images

Just something fun...

I can't even get within a 100ft of the kingfishers in N. America. Nice to see two that like a big white lens!!

Nothing like the Minolta 600f4 (I have one) to bring home the bacon.

I was gonna say that lens is no canon lens. Cool shot though.

Haha, seriously? No wonder I was having a hard time identifying the gear. Oh well, less appropriate for the Canon forum then, but still a great photo.

It's really amazing how shy they are. I think the 1200mm f5.6 must have been made specifically for kingfishers.

That reflects my experience with kingfishers...but a lot of kingfisher photos in our Nature board are taken with 500mm or less...somehow.

A couple of the best kingfisher shots from Imagemaster and Kenny are shot from blinds. That is a great way to get photos if you know a location with a consistent bird. The sad thing is the diving kingfisher shots from overseas which some are shot with a fish tank under the water filled with bait fish. Others just with a lot of bait.
