Tons of patience, dozens of early wakeups (4:30AM), hundreds of hours inside the hide, and huge efforts with high tech and techniques, in order to get this pictures...

Underwater captures, crazy poses (over my head), and the most difficult one, the inflight dive with stelae in a diurnal shot.

Hope you like them!

Btw, the robin ended fishing from the pond too! (first reported case in the world).
Its evolution! it learned from the PRO!

Our kingfisher hide is in Spain, very close to Barcelona..

Underwater dive with prey

Success!

Learning from the pro..

Crazy once in a lifetime shot :)

Neat set, and seeing a bit of the inner workings of the shoot is cool to learn about. Well done.

Thank you...the stelae is a VERY dificult picture, as the light was all over the place and it has to be overpowered...

The second and third images are fantastic and the last hilarious and tells the story of how you did the underwater image.

Voted!

Cool! Some very unusual and fascinating shots here, along with what I believe is that Venus Optics Probe macro lens. Thanks for sharing. Definitely some of the most fascinating captures I have seen.

guess I'm the odd man out here. While I can appreciate the technical wizardry that would be required for these types of shots and also the time investment and dedication, I don't see where the "ends justify the means". Everything is obviously artificial and it shows. Sort of like a shot of a rare bird on a feeder. There is just nothing pleasing to view about any of these so guess I just don't see the point. Please don't shoot me, just an opinion.

Wow! Amazing images. It's great that you got shots of all the phases, the dive, the underwater catch, and the re-emergence. I like them all, but I am skeptical about the last one.
