Hi all

A hackneyed old shot but one that I was glad to bag in the Farnes last week. Box ticked!

Canon 1dIII 500mm 1.4x f10 1/1250

Thats a fine looking portrait Simon. Its one more than I have as there are not a lot of Puffins in Norfolk.

I would flip it, otherwise a nice shot.

Now that even looks great on my old laptop. Stunning on the PC monitor. Haven't seen too many Puffins here of late. I'm due for parole soon.

Looks spot on to me. I must get some of these on film myself one day.

A fine portrait with bags of detail in both bird and fish. Well controlled for the B&Ws and a well deserved tick in the box..
