  • I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I took a closeup portrait of the Common Kingfisher. Kingfishers are quite easy to spot thanks to their beautiful teal and orange plumage - but it takes a lot of planning and effort to get really close to the Kingfisher.

    I literally have tears in my eyes, I just looked at all the nature photos on your website and I think I've never ever seen photos of animals that are as good as yours. An trust me, I've seen lots and lots of wildlife photos... I love your compositions and the moments you capture, as well as your style of editing. Be proud of yourself, you are a great artist!

      Patience is a big ingredient in wildlife photography. My patience is often better on days when I know there’s a chance of getting a shot. Sometimes I can’t wait for 2 hours before I get bored 😂

  • @SimeonKolev
    @SimeonKolev Před 2 lety +1

    You have to set the sticks where the fish is resting or feeding. Where the river is slower, the bird knows where the fish will be catchable.

    Try it the opposite way: 1. day set up hide on a place kf flies by. Get them a day used to it. Drop a can of corn into the water as bait for thar tiny fishes kf likes so much. Hide remains there over night. 2. day set up new perch above the “corn place”. Check for the fishes. Shoot kf.
