Flying Puffins

I have had some success with flying Puffins in the past, but on Lunga the conditions were such that they came out of nowhere and then disappeared. It really stretched my panning abilities as they fly so incredibly fast, with little or no time to lock on and pan.

Re: Flying Puffins

Hard to pick a bestie here ,no1 is superb with the blue sky ,and no.2 is a interesting shot wonder if you could adjust the w/b towards the blue to brighten the sky then push up the whites slider for the birds chests ?

Number 2 was a much earlier shot and there was a lot of sea mist about, so that is pretty much how it was. Number 1 was later and the sea mist had burnt off to reveal a lovely blue sky.

Re: Flying Puffins

Two lovely shots as usual. Like both pictures very much.

Re: Flying Puffins

Both brilliant shots...No2 especially ...comical in the way No2 is looking at No1 saying ...'show-off'
