Snapshots: Julian W.




Name: Julian W.
Type of photographer: Professional
Equipment: Sony Alpha 100, Hasselblad Xpan-II, Nikon D2X, F5 and F100


The waiting game
A slow shutter speed combined with the right amount of flash was the key to getting this shot.

Of course, this was coupled with the use of a tripod and the great convenience of a digital camera. The tripod ensured that any chance of "accidental blurring" was eliminated and my digital camera gave me the advantages of an extended zoom and the crucial "post-view" function.

With all these elements in place, I just had to exercise patience and wait for the kingfisher to fly into position.
Equipment: Nikon D2X with 500mm lens; F4 at 1/40 second; shot on Fujichrome Provia 100F
