Creating DETAILED Bird Photography - The World’s MOST COLOURFUL Kingfisher | Part Of The Flock Ep 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2021
- Episode 2 of Part Of The Flock is all about creating detailed bird photography, to appreciate the magnificence of Natural Design.
It's about photographing the intricate patterns, textures and colours of the avian world. To demonstrate this, the Oriental Dwarf Kingfisher became the perfect subject of focus.
Not only is the ODKF the most colourful Kingfisher in the world, but it also happens to be one of the smallest of its kind. At a maximum of 14cm in length, including its bill and tail, it became extremely challenging to create a detailed close-up photograph. Further more, the unforgiving monsoons of Western India and the erratic lighting conditions that came along, made the output all the more tricky to achieve.
The final images are a result of 35 odd hours, spread across 7 days.
Thanks to Aishwarya Sridhar for being a part of this episode.
Special thanks to Accord Equips for sending me the Sony A7S III along with the 200-600mm super telephoto zoom lens. All slow motion footage was filmed in 4k 120fps.
Still photographs were captured on my Canon 5D IV using the 200-400mm f4l IS USM with the inbuilt 1.4x teleconverter.
Filmed in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra.

Appreciated sir.....If Possible I would like to accompany you
Thank you very much Kenneth for the offer of a gift , though I have to decline . My knowledge of mobile is limited to what's app , researching on Google n watching interesting thought provoking videos
. Unlike you youngsters , oldies like me are happy with this limited use . Being a nature n bird lover ,
I love watching your videos , most amazing photography n clear narration .
Thank you for your efforts towards creating awareness about beautiful nature n how important it is to conserve it .
I wish you a very successful n prosperous future .
Look forward to watching more of your videos
@@rekhav4757 Hello there, Rekha. The message about a 'gift' was made by a scammer trying to pose as me. I've deleted their comments and blocked that page. Thank you so much for following the channel and I hope you enjoy the upcoming content just as much. :)
This time "we" managed to capture the entire reflection of the entire canopy..... great narration immersive and captivating words along with the great photographs.... a big fan from Kerala...
Glad you enjoyed the video, my friend. 😃
Awesome again , dearest Kenneth, the quiet, intense , devout watcher whose artistic creation sings :’ All things bright and beautiful/The Lord God made them all!’ Full of reverence for his ‘subject’ and its ‘sylvan setting ‘ , Ken rightly refuses to disclose his location , patiently makes multiple attempts spread over a whole week to lovingly capture and share our birdie’s incredibly colourful presence . One marvels at Nature’s amazing food chain where the avian parents knock fish, crabs and insects against hard surfaces, to render them harmlessly palatable for their little ones - all ideas of cruelty and compassion are relative and cast aside , for the only theme that prevails here is ‘parental nurture and care ‘! Loved your hushed narration , nestled in your hideout in John Keats ‘“melodious plot of beechen green and shadows numberless “! May your photographic skill keep scaling new heights, Ken , even as your whole being gets attuned to and absorbed in nature , bowing to the Creator’s divine artistry.
14:06 good shot. frog looks likes it wants to escape.

Thank you for bringing this incredible image of this tiny and mesmerizing and colourful bird to the screen!
Good job Lawrence!
Absolutely a delightful video
Very captivating, well done! This should be in a full-blown documentary on TV. Millions could then enjoy and benefit from it!!
Thats so awesome fotage man...this Art of kingfisher ist realy the beautyies in the world... Love your work
Great sense of photography and passion for birds. Respect from one bird photographer to other
perseverance gets great result! Great story and pic! keep it up!!! 👏
Hats off to you, Kenneth. 35 hours of shooting time alone for one less than a second shot. Add travel distance and effort... that is one hell of a commitment.
Shoot time wouldn't even be 2% of the 35 hours. Most of the time went jjust sitting and swatting away mosquitoes. 🤣
Good effort and beautiful photograph... especially the one taken with remote...
Wow! Such amazing photos and videos. Your dedication and hard work paid off and we got to enjoy one of the most beautiful photos I have ever seen.
The person that gave thumbs down to this video, you should call your doctor and check to see if you are ok. I don't understand how a person can down vote an amazing experience like this.
Fantastic! Congratulations. I'll wait for you in Turkey.
Beautiful footage at last. Good job. 👍👍
Too good videos and awesome photos
Amazing..I didn't even blink once throughout the video 🙂
Amazing video & photos. And informative too! Excellent job Kenneth!
Hats off to your patience. Great work.
I want to work on Nature conservation with photography and I am very happy that you didn't disclose the Location. Huge applaud to you sir.
Beautiful documentary of this stunning species. We only have the common kingfisher here, which almost only catches fish. To capture them in flight in those poor light condition will be a very great effort. I shot them a lot diving in the water and shutter speeds of 1/3200 are about the minimum. Greeting from The Netherlands.
Excellent work drone and story telling!!
Nice story mate. Enjoyed being there with you
Another excellent video Kenneth. Thank you for sharing your experience and incredible images and video footage.
Wow ! Amazing ! Thank you 🙏
Absolutely stunning photos. Love the video ❤️

Wow, first time to see one of your videos. You are sooooo much more than a photographer, you are an artist--a storyteller. Your blend of exquisite music with the video was so appropriate--thanks for not choosing "head banger" stuff to accompany your shots. I have subscribed to your channel and can't wait to see more!
Thank you for your kind words, Hugh. I'm humbled. I share the same views with you about "head banger" music, haha.
Classical / oldies all the way. 🙌🏼
