A Taste Of Summer
Hi everyone, I thought I'd try and stir you're thoughts, by uploading something out of Season. This was shot last May on the lovely Island of Skomer, off the Pembrokeshire coastline, West Wales. All comments most welcome.
Regards,
Paul. :wavey:

Canon EOS 50D, Sigma 120-400mm, hand held.

f5.6, 1/500sec, ISO 100, @400mm.

Classic Puffin shot Paul but like the lighting on this.
Not harsh as a lot of these shots seem to depict but works well here.

Good one Paul. The sloping foreground and careful placement of the bird within the frame makes for a strong and pleasing composition. :toast:
