Never one to merely blend in, the Azure Kingfisher is dressed to impress. We came upon this bird fishing on the edge of the Daintree river, and approaching slowly by boat, it let us incredibly close.
It was so dark in the riverside understory I was shooting at ridiculous shutter speeds between 1/30th-1/80th sec HH at 860mm (EFL). This is the best shot I've ever managed of this tiny, colorful critter. What a stunner. I love kingfishers!
