Do not understand how he can catch 2 fish in such a short time in

the water. Anyway, real fast in the air and in the water too.

ZW,

What a fine capture. And an unusal one ,indeed. Good job !

Your shutter speed and ISO were not stated in the "details".

For those people starting to shoot action/nature  with slower zoom lens, I recommend that you share this information on shots like this. More information anwers question like stated below:

Did you use high ISO ? Did you use the Image Stabilization feature ? What was the focal length selected for this shot ? Shutter speed ?

I do not require the answers, since I  too use the Sigma 150-500 lens for some nature work.

Mike

Fantastic moment of capture for this photograph!

Very nice lighting and details!

It was 9:30am, fair sunshine as at wide open f/5.6 ISO 1600 I could only get 1/3200 s on my D300, even down by -1.0ev. Focal was 250mm. OS was off. Actually, when the bird just came out of water, they are not that fast. You can catch it right even at lower speed. One more thing, picture control sharpening you need to set it up to 9, then you can get the righ sharpness and color even, of course only when you work with Sigma 150-500 lens.

Cheers, ZW

Yikes, great catch ZW Young! First shot that I ever seen a of a King Fisher with two fishes in the beak ever. For the moment and the two fishes it's definitely ... not easily or possible to duplicate again, IMO.  May I ask where this was taken ?

Warm regards ZW!

Thank you for adding the "how I did it" details........ it all adds to my learning curve.

Wow...this may be the best kingfisher action shot I have ever seen.  Truly a contest winner!  I second all of the above comments.  Incredible and most likely unique.  Thanks!
