Manual focus and a used very beaten up Nikon F2 loaded with Kodachrome
25 for good light and Kodachrome 64 for bad light. Those were the days I chased
Kingfishers at the Danube in Southern Germany.
Well manual focus is history as is Kodachrome and sadly most of the
Kingsfishers in the small village I grew up. I still have loads of slides I
look at from time to time. sadly
Kodachrome slides are horrible to scan and I never was satisfied with the
results I could achieve. As I heard about Mark's Kingsfisher-hide in west Yorkshire I called
my mate Mike and we decided to give it a go. well to make a long story short we
had a fantastic day ---thanks a lot Mark.
Even the nightmares I had the night after about the developing costs for
all the film I shot... they disappeared after I woke up and realized ...hey caveman you
are on digital nowadays. What a relief; now it's only about when we have time to
return and get some action shots :-).
