I shot this photo at ISO 5,000 which accounts for the grain. It was at 21 mm, 1/50th sec, and f/3.5 using a 18-55 Canon kit lens.

I’ve seen this bird most mornings at 5:45 on our morning walk around the Parliament building. It too dark to photograph plus I don’t have my camera with me. Today I decided to return later in the day. I waited 10 minutes and gave up and headed home. I had only taken 30 steps down the sidewalk when I saw this kingfisher swooping down on the water before perching in this tree. I retreated and got some photos with a 70-300mm canon lens on my 7D camera.
