How I Took This Photo - BEHIND THE SCENES of Photographing Kingfishers
I'm taking you behind the scenes of how I took a closeup portrait of the Common Kingfisher. Kingfishers are quite easy to spot thanks to their beautiful teal and orange plumage - but it takes a lot of planning and effort to get really close to the Kingfisher.

The amount of patience you have is insane
Having spent days myself trying to photograph kingfishers, I feel your pain 😂 that feeling when you get the shot though 👌🏻 and what a great shot you got 💥
Haha then you know the feeling when you finally hear it call and he flies just above the water. Such s cool little bird. Thank you!
Get paid from it or just to do it for hobby?
I literally have tears in my eyes, I just looked at all the nature photos on your website and I think I've never ever seen photos of animals that are as good as yours. An trust me, I've seen lots and lots of wildlife photos... I love your compositions and the moments you capture, as well as your style of editing. Be proud of yourself, you are a great artist!
This made my day. Thank you for your words❤️
/?’””/😊😊😊
Your patience paid off. Gorgeous photography. Thanks for sharing the shoot. 🤩
Sometimes you gotta earn it the hard way and when you do, the reward is just that much sweeter.
I absolutely feel you regarding the littering. Who the hell decides to go out in nature/hiking trail (they must obviously do it because they appreciate nature) and then empty their trash where it will take thousands of years to decompose 😢.
You can wait for ages, but when you hear the call and see the flash of blue it’s all worthwhile
You have lots of patience, spending hours after hours to get that good shot, and you nailed it. Good work! Thank you for sharing this beautiful experience.
Patience and dedication! Great shots 👏🏻
Thanks for your videos Olle! I find them very enjoyable to watch. Even your lens reviews out in the field are great. Keep up the amazing work!
Great video! I was with you the whole time. You inspire me to put in the time for getting better images.
Amazing work Olle! The amount of patience is so fun to see! So happy you got your shot and it looks totally stunning! Can’t wait for more of your fantastic videos!
Appreciate it❤️
Love that dedication of yours ✨
Wow! I love all your photos and gosh your patience is so much 😊
Great video Olle :-) Good patience is allways rewarded...Keep up the good work - Best regards from Denmark :-)
Fantastic Video, gorgeous footage and beautiful pictures, love the light and the tones 👌👏🙂
Wonderful…persevered and nailed it. Loving the channel.
Is fun to see that just a packet of snacks full fill your hungry 👌👌 Well shot ❤️❤️
Beautiful shots!!!! Congratulations
Thanks a ton!
Literally speechless, great video and amazing photos. It's awesome to see how you visualised in your head the composition you would like to capture and then just stuck around and got it! So good!
Thank you so much!!🙏🏻 so glad you liked it!
Days and days of documenting the animal is all part of the final very very satisfying feeling of getting the clip or the picture of these beautiful birds know the feeling of disappointment and effort believe me
Hey Olle, great work, i appreciate that you are sharing the long way to. Hope to see more like this. It feels quiet good to know others won't get the shot first time and i am not alone :D Keep going. Frankie
Thanks so much !!! I love this concept " behind the scenes" !!!! Continue please ! Bye
Loved this video, thank you for making this!!

Awesome, love that all of your effort paid off!
It was worth the wait!! Thanks for watching🙏🏻

Amazing videos ! Can't wait for your next videos about wildlife photography ! Love you man,have a great day :D !!!
Thank you so much mate! Have a great day you too!
great job, the belted King fisher is one of my favorites they are slick but once you catch one its amazing.
I really enjoy watching your videos. They distract me from city life. I find it so amazing how much love you put into your videos. Above all, your patience is remarkable. I would have given up after several hours of waiting.
I’m so glad to hear that🙏🏻 Patience is a big ingredient in wildlife photography. My patience is often better on days when I know there’s a chance of getting a shot. Sometimes I can’t wait for 2 hours before I get bored 😂
Nice work, thanks for sharing.
wooo nice shots Olle!
Thank you Dani!!
I love these type of videos so much, it rly shows the true side of nature, and learns to not give up untill you get it. Pluss im sure he flew to you cuz he wanted to say thanks for picking up the redbull from the gorund hahah.
One of the best photography videos I've seen till now....keep up with the work dude.
Thank you for those words mate!!🙏🏻
Great work dude...hats off to the amount of patience u have...and the pics are so beautiful ❤️❤️
Thank you so much!🙏🏻
I've just stumbled across this. How amazing is this video. Your determination to get my fav birds I've yet to see myself. Apparently, they are active between April and August time, so I'm waiting for then especially when the weather warms up. We'll done
Finally Perfect shots😃😍😍😍
Great work.. wildlife photography takes time to get the right shot. Well done.. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks a ton!! Yeah it really does take time and effort, but the feeling when you get it is amazing
I love you all, SONY guys ❤️
Amazing photos and videos!!!
I wanted several times to skip the video just to see the result but I convinced myself to be patient and watch the video. and it s amazing ! the nature the environment ..... you are lucky to be surrounded with such beauty !
I’m glad you watched it all, means a lot! Sweden really has a lot to offer. Thanks again!
@@ollenilssonen my dream is to live in Sweden or Norway in asmallcabin surrounded by wilderness and SNOWWWWW
Amazing! I enjoyed your video. 👍👍
You have to set the sticks where the fish is resting or feeding. Where the river is slower, the bird knows where the fish will be catchable.
Lovely birds that kingfisher! Great the gray heron that sat there too! You are lucky in Sweden that has a lot of animals we do not have in Norway! One bird I think is stylish that you have is Western jackdaw or Kaie! A large part of my family lives in Karlshamn. Wish you a nice weekend!
Så sjukt bra! Magiska bilder som vanligt 👌🏻 mer av detta tack 🔥📷
Tack som fasen!!🙏🏻
Your every video inspired me a lot 😍
Wow. Super picks bro!!
Little late to the video, but insane journey and fantastic photos. Lot of times I come home with ehh stuff but trips like these make those dull moments worthwhile

Hello Olle, good job and good pictures. As I always say, never give up, because you'll never know when it'll come your subject. Our best weapon in the patience 😉 Ciao!!
So true! Thank you so much!😍
The dedication and effort in this video🔥
Yes, I agree.
Wow ❤
Amazing video 🔥🔥🔥 I can definitely understand the patience, dedication and frustration but its super rewarding. If possible, please provide an editing tutorial of the kingfisher. Love the kingfisher and literally feel like a kid in a candy store when I hear one and especially get to photograph one. Just need help on editing

Man I dont know if I would have that kind of patience to go through all that to get a shot although in the end, you got an amazing shot. I would frame that and put it in my house somewhere. At first I thought your photos were captured just by chance, like you happen to see a nice bird and boom, took the photo. But actually it took so much work! Congrats
Love it bro 💖
Great!!!!!!
