Sure he did...thats the hardest damn bird to shoot. they never let me get close enough no mater what lens i use. now hes ready to take a nap, and let out a big yawn. great belted K.F. shots

Oh My God ROB...I have never in 26 years of trying to shoot this bird have I ever shot one even near this perfect.
totaly my fav kingfisher shot on this site (or maybe any site)

your right about the reel being a shimano Stradic but the Rod is a Hand Tyied Talon Blank 9' fast tip light action sttelhead rod tyied by a local dude named Jim Higley. here in Michigan

the camera used for this shot (as you asked) is the Nikon D2X and I think the lens is either the 200 F2.0 or the 300 F2.8

What I mean by "Full Res copy" is just that. The res the camera gave you. But I dont really expect you to do that. and I really dont expect you to post anything like that. to me, being a photographer for 26 years or so I like to look at work like yours close and 1280X853 is just a tad over 1 megapixel. my camera "nikon D2X is a 13 megapixel you should see how close you can look at a full res file like that. But like I said, the only way any of us photographers can really share our art (to me anyways) is to Email and trade full res copies back and forth but I didn't expect anyone to really do that. it's your work, not mine.
love the photos you post...kendall Leonard aka kl61
