    I recently saw a film on Nat Geo' about the birds on Great Saltee, it brought back memories. If any of you get the RSPB magazine 'Birds' you will see a spectacular image of Great Saltee on the front cover by Danny Green. A beautiful place.

    A lot of my Ireland shots are now put to CD. I took hundreds of shots and was very pleased with how nearly all turned out. You can't ask for more....except for sand-eels, in the puffin's bills and sometimes a softer light, but wow what a holiday. I will upload just a few more Ireland shots...

    I didn't get my Puffin fix this year so I have been looking through old images. I was panning ready for flight so this is not quite sharp, but I like the pose. 1/1250, f5.6, ISO200, full frame

    This guy looks like he is good at balancing. I had to do a bit myself with about a 200/300ft drop!

    Not really a good image for presenting at web-sizes.

    ...looking for somewhere to land in the rain (not as much rain in the shot as I hoped for).

    Since Annette and Clive have put on some puffin shots and since I was with them both when the shots were taken I thought I'd complete the trio. What a great day we had too...many thanks to Clive. In the space of a couple of yards and with us half dangling off a cliff it just goes to show how...
  15. Whats up?

    Whats up?

    I keep going back to the full-size version of this image to find a better crop. Thought I would try tight on the head (about 30% of original frame). What do you think? 1/1600, f8, ISO400

    These birds may seem odd or comical but they put up with so much from the much bigger birds and so I admire them for their gutsy determination..to me they are a little more than special, they are wonderful to watch even with a 150ft drop and no safety net! I think Annette and Clive did very well...
  21. Fast pass and haul .......

    Fast pass and haul .......

    Another of the many Puffin images taken on the Farnes last week, this time a grab shot with the 20D and 310mm on the 100-400mm, uncropped. Edit, I should add also that IS was OFF, unecessary at these shutter speeds and I think it impedes AF tracking. 2006:07:07 12:22:52 100-400mm @ 310mm 1/1000...

    When I visited Saltee with Clive and Annette I made sure I got myself the bog standard puffin shot ..on a rock with nothing but sea or sky or both. I was able to get just the one shot before the opportunity went. Sorry about the quality of the upload. I have been attempting to get the pictures...

    This comes with a big big thank you too Clive Timmons .. a fantastic guy and a fantastic host and who has bags of personality to match his wit. I had a great time Clive and the distance travelled was more than worth it ..you're a diamond! Ok so the composition is a bit off ..it is full frame...

    Having had a photography block for the past few weeks, I took a trip to the Farne Islands to play with Puffins and Terns - a perfect antidote to the bird photography blues!
