Sometimes when I'm out shooting with my new 40D
I feel the sun is only shining on me.

For example, I have never been able to get a photo of a Kingfisher
until today.
The 40D was ready and waiting to capture the decisive moment.

Getting good bird pics is always a crapshoot.

Exif -> Canon EOS D60

Is that your IR converted camera? I thought trees look whiter
with IR?

Yeah, I always keep the full armada with me just in case.
Yes, that was taken with the infrared-converted Totally Digital D60.
Trees in sunlight look bright white. Less so in shade or overcast
conditions.

Congrats! On this magnificent work. I won't bore everyone with my
poor technical critiquing skills but I will say it's very spiritual
and comforting. I envision it as God calling all angels to come home
now, as their work is done. Personally, it's very appropriate.

absolutely. Just getting Sacred Kingfishers to stay
put with their heads is pot luck:

unsharpened, uncropped. I might do something with these,
when I get some free time. AF70-210/4.5-5.6, handheld.

but my target is the azure kingfisher: only seen one and
it didn't even give me time to blink, let alone have a shot...

Nice capture of a difficult avian. Being at the right place at the
right time is a must to
get those shots. And doing it hand held as well. Good shooting.

Keep at it Noons. Would like to see more.

Wonderful IR shot. But contrast seems a bit flat or is my moniter off
again? I can feel the warmth of the ray of sun light beaming down.
Very well done.

ROFLMAO Great shot! I would like to print it out and put it on my
bosses desk when I quit.hehe To bad there were so many twigs in the
way of the rest of the bird.

Keep at it.
