Kingfishers In Focus

The following picture of the common kingfisher is one of my first shots with the tripod. It's a bit nicer than my handheld shots, but not by much. I can't get close enough to the birds clumsily carrying a large tripod. This is a good time to get a telephoto lens attachment.

This is his favourite branch.

I like how this one of the white-throated kingfisher turned out. I didn't use a tripod, but hid inside my car and took the picture . Usually I get a blurry bird with everything else in focus, but this time I have my subject in focus (with a blurry everything else).
