DISTANT Belted Kingfisher On The Move
The bane of my existence...elusive Belted Kingfisher in high speed flight. Virtually impossible for me to get a good flight shot.
This was shot at long distance. I did what I could to salvage the shot in processing, but without a long prime lens, exposures at this distance are problematic. And as you can see, though it was shot in the trees in the dark of the woods, the background is very bright. Here's what I could get out of the shot.
