Fangs on Mull!
Here's one from my trip to Mull a couple of weeks ago. We had 9 otter sightings in total but this was the only one that proved super-easy to shoot. My thanks go to fellow photographer Alan Heeley both for the great company and for the priceless moment when he sat on a huge thistle while we stalked this otter!
Techs are 1D2N, 5004 plus 1.4 converter, ISO 400, 640th sec at f8.
All best,
Dave

Hello Dave

As a family forum I can imagine the language Alan used cannot be repeated :biggrin:

Lovely shot this one Dave I am off myself in a few weeks time.

Hi Dave,

Lovely image showing the Otter well and truly tucking in. Sounds like the image was a bit of a pain in the a**e to get though :biggrin:

Regards

Hi Dave,
Glad you had a good time.
Still to get a wild otter myself, so I bet you're pleased with this.

Nicely done - I was up in Mull myself a couple of weeks back and know how hard these chaps can be!
