@quietpurplehaze yes same here I will be taking my Sigma lens into Walton camera Shop tomorrow as to be honest Hazel I missed some good shots at Shoreham Air show due to my lens not zooming in on time, will let you know what the outcome Is
Everything about the image and the colours is just lovely, Hazel! I, too love the funny-shaped Kingfishers, and would love o live in a cottage with a sign like that!
It stood still for you... yay! Nice shot. Sometimes, I feel as though the only living creature that I can successfully shoot is one that is on narcotics, or nailed down. :)
Thanks for all your comments. I did get a kingfisher once - 4 years ago - who sat obligingly on a post by the river - but the shot is a bit impressionistic as I only had a small p&s then! http://365project.org/quietpurplehaze/add-ins/2012-09-24
Pete, thanks - I thought he was rather handsome!!!
Yes I remember that, Gerry - doubt I'll ever get a photo of a real one!
I cam empathise, Rosie. A robin in our vicinity sings in full view at the very tops of trees but always when I have left my camera indoors!!!
good luck with the lens, Gerry.
