Puffin with supper
1DII, 300/2.8 + 1.4xII, 1/125s @ f/5 Ev-2/3, ISO200, handheld. Late evening.

Haven't posted many images for soooo long, so about time to start to make up for that (haven't taken many this year either!) - still wading through thousands of shots from the last few years in an effort to bin some and clear some disk space. Decided to keep this one though :wink:

This chap had had a rough landing - very blustery windy conditions, so he settled down for a bit of a loaf in a warm sunbeam on a ledge on the cliff. The out of focus surroundings are the cliff face each side of him.

Nick,

Its super, it feels just a little bit too warm, but love the isolation...

The complete isolation of the bird makes this one a bit special.
Good to see you posting again :cool: :toast:

Like the concept, but looks a bit warm on my monitor.
