    Incoming Puffin

    Hi,

    Had chance to visit Skomer a couple of weeks ago -so thought I would have a go at a few Puffin in flight shots -easier said than done!
    They are like little bullets and I found it very difficult to track them using my 40D centre point. Out of a few hundred shots only about 10 were anywhere near in focus!!!

    Any way 2 are shown below:

    C&C Welcome
    Thanks

            You've done very well. I love the look of determination in the 2nd.

                          The second is the classic incoming shot which you captured well. Only thing missing is the sand eels

                            Nice set Guy, as others have said the last one is both unusual and well captured. I would clone out the light spots on the image (mostly above and to the left of the Puffin with one below at the RHS) and then I think you would have one worthy of being printed.
                            Well done Guy
