Superb set Nicolas! You used some very short lenses. Can you describe your setup.
Morris
Yes, all the shots but the last one were triggered manually & remotely (from a hide). The last had to be triggered with an infrared barrier in order to shoot a set of led lights just before triggering the flashes. Its the only trail I´ve seen in perfect daylight, so I guess I was really lucky to get the exposure correctly and overpower the sun.
Used a variety of lenses all manually focused to where I thought the kingfisher would enter (yes...thousands of out of focus pics).

Thank you! Yes...many early risers and hundreds of hours at the hide...

Amazing, was this a controlled environment?
Well, it was in the wild, in a small pond close to the river were fish got trapped when water level changed.
But yes, I controlled everything (focusing, speedlights and even leds in the trail shot).
