I have wanted to photograph a Kingfisher for a long time and for whatever reason never visited this nature reserve, well known for its Kingfishers. A forecast for sunshine on the day seemed a good opportunity to finally try my luck and this is one of my first ever shots of these strikingly colourful little birds. Ignore the EXIF lens information, it was taken using a manual focus Nikkor 500mm f/4 ED IF P lens with a TC 14E II teleconverter for an effective focal length of 700mm.

Manual focus with the 50mm TTartisan f/1.2 lens. It's a fun lens to shoot with.

Staircase leading up to a narrow street in the old town of Napoli, Campania, Italy. The elderly gentleman lurched to a halt at the bottom of the stairs and dropped his shopping bag. I saw him and suspected some impending medical emergency, so I waited to see whether I could be of assistance.

 

He then started patting his pockets and fumbling frantically for something. I thought: maybe his heart medicine?

 

Finally, he found what he had been looking for: a bag of tobacco and a pack of cigarette papers. He carefully rolled a cig, lit it, took a long draught, then exhaled a huge cloud of smoke with a deep sigh of content.

 

Having done that, visibly fortified, wheezingly and creakingly he attacked the long staircase.

I manually focused on the nearest foliage here to de focus the background and all the time keeping the sun in the frame to light the scene for me.

We learn from the weather forecast that snow flurries will be coming to Vancouver area in the weekend.

 

There is one white flake coming early to Finn Slough.

 

Wish you a great Friday!
