Early morning Pied Kingfisher - Woodbridge Island, Cape Town

Early morning lonesome Pied Kingfisher on a breakfast run in the Milnerton Lagoon / Woodbridge Island - with eventual success. All kingfisher photos by Vernon Chalmers with Canon EOS 70D and Canon EF 400mm f/5.6L USM Lens. (fast shutter speeds 3200). Handheld.

Testing of higher shutter speed of 1/3200s. The trade-off is slightly higher ISO speeds (for maintaining crisp detail). Aperture was fixed at f/6.3 (in Manual Mode).
