Nice series both, weather is good by the looks of it so I'm looking forward to more. It seems that jkp1 was much closer to the puffins than Bob (look at the exifs), but all are great pictures of these strange but special birds

Yes, more. Puffins, sea and boats - great subjects for you. Especially the puffins - exposure nightmares though they are (fabulous job on that with the first shot jkp1).

Finally some pics! It sure took you guys a while.
Very nice puffin pics, looks like you got extremely close to some of them. |

Puffins in Flight... I guess they must be quite bulky for their wing size because they sure fly fast - or so it seemed to me who has almost no experience of BIF. As well as these two I now have very large collection for my proposed book "Foreground to Background Bokeh"

Great puffin in flight shot Chris - the classic one I wanted to get was as they have just flown up the cliff and spend a second hovering at the cliff edge before plonking themselves down - but I think I'd have had to have been very luck to get it.
@pegelli: I did get a number of shots closer than that but was rather taken with those two against the out-of-focus sea... and to be honest I was amazed to get anything with a 75-300 kit lens coupled with a generic x2 teleconverter (equivalent 600mm f11.0!).. |

I can help with the plonking bit - graceful in the water, agile in the air but landings not so good... I know I shouldn't be anthropomorphising but it so hard to resist
Control to Puffin "Landing site obstructed - please divert. "On your head be it" |

Of course, it was not all about puffins (although I've got some more puffin shots myself) - there were also flowers:
Celandine.. #6 #7 #8 & Wild garlic #9 #10 |

You lucky people...what great weather it looks like you had! Lovely shots so far, especially all those terrific puffins; I'm really jealous and looking forward to seeing lots more from your weekend.

I still can't work out why the Welsh Sphinx at Broad Haven isn't more famous.
