My first attempt at shooting puffins on the Northscape workshop and what fun it was too Smile

Mixed results overall but come away with a couple that I'm happy with which is all I aimed to do.

Feel free to give it any critique you like, Its a whole new world to me is this Wink

The lad done good Wink
Nice exposure Richard,you have coped well with that strong light on the whites.Would have done you to shift a tad to the right so his foot would be in full focus.Nice clarity on the head & eye where it matters & some really nice detail in the blacks which are easily lost in such bright light.Well done you.....now for some 'in flight' shots Wink

pmsl - maybe next time Wink

cheers for the feedback Janet, appreciate it - I was quite pleased with this one so if there's only the blurry feet thats an issue then I'm chuffed
