Op maandag 29 juni maakte ik op de terugweg van het werk een pitstop in Geldermalsen. Hier werd plaatsgenomen voor een plaatje van een Thalys - of zoals dat tegenwoordig heet 'Eurostar'. Helaas is deze stek niet helemaal geschikt voor dubbele treinstellen waardoor de achterste vrijwel volledig van het zicht ontnomen wordt.
Het voorste stel staat er wel goed op. En zo zien we treinstellen 4304 en 4537 als Eurostar 9370 Amsterdam Centraal - Paris Nord voorbij de fotograaf razen.

Description:
A spectacular, high-speed wildlife photograph capturing a Common Kingfisher hovering in mid-air over a quiet river branch in Austria, showcasing its vibrant orange and electric blue feathers against a soft bokeh background.
Camera:
Canon EOS R1
Lens:
Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
Story:
Capturing a kingfisher in full action requires immense tracking speed, absolute patience, and a camera sensor that can handle split-second movement. I spent days hidden in the reeds along a quiet backwater branch of an Austrian river where this bird regularly hunts. Utilizing the incredible autofocus tracking and rapid burst rate of the camera, I managed to freeze the precise micro-second the kingfisher locked its eyes on a fish below, diving with spread wings. The bright morning light beautifully illuminates the intense iridescent turquoise on its back and the deep rust-orange of its breast, completely isolated by a creamy, natural forest background bokeh.
