Great shot
Klerksdorp Record, Klerksdorp - A photo of a Pied Kingfisher in a vertical dive was taken by Klerksdorp photographer Robby Holmwood. It earned him a second runner-up position in the Kruger Magazine amateur photo competition.
Holmwood is a member of the Klerksdorp Photography Club. He said he took the photograph in the south of the Kruger Park near Bergendal rest camp.
“The intent was to capture photos of the Kingfisher as it hovers in the air above the water before it dives. Because of the speed of the dive, it was never my intent to capture the diving Kingfisher. However, it was with a bit of luck that, with the hovering bird in the viewfinder, I instinctively followed the bird as it started the dive and managed to capture it in this vertical diving position,’’ Holmwood said.
