Kingfishers are just amazing birds. They are extremely fast and difficult to capture with a camera. If you'd like to get into bird photography, here are three great quick guides from Photzy to get you started.
Even better, these three guides are by the wonderfully talented bird photographer Tobie Schalkwyk – oh and they are free!
If you don't know Tobie, he is a South African bird and wildlife photographer, who is also regular here on the Light Stalking forums. He can often be found on the forums posting his latest photographs of beautiful birds (including kingfishers!) and helping out fellow photographers.
