リュウキュウアカショウビン、今季2羽目!!(動画あり)
見つけた時は暗ーい藪にいたアカショウビンですが、しばらく待ったら開けたところまで出てきてくれました。^^
This was the first branch the Ruddy Kingfisher landed on after coming out of the undergrowth. I finally found a spot with no obstructing branches and got the shot.
It came out even closer toward me. I hid behind cover and shot handheld.
Under overcast skies, stopping this well at 840mm is more than enough. Since switching to the EF600mm F4 IS II USM with four stops of image stabilization, I've been shooting handheld more often. The lens is also considerably lighter than the Mark I. ^^ A close-up Ruddy Kingfisher is adorable.
