Hi Everyone,
It's been a while...:eek:
I thought I'd share these puffins with you. This was taken on the Farne Islands last June and cropped for composition. The light was quite harsh.
1D 3 300 f/2.8 + 1.4 TC
ISO 250
f/4 1/5000
Exp comp +1/3
HH
Look forward to your C & C's!
Warm regards to all,
Nicki :S3:

Glad to see you back.:bg3:
Fun landing pose here, complete with mouth full of fish!
I am at work, so can't call the whites accurately.
It does look a bit bright overall however.
I could see a bit off the top.
Once again, nice to see you posting here again.
cheers
Randy

Hi Randy, thanks so much for the kind words. I THINK that the whites are OK - but they might be a bit close to the mark... :eek: :w ... and you know that I always favour my images on the light side...

Thanks Peter, that does look better...how did you remove the colour cast? (Darn our cold northern light!!!)

Hi Nicki, clever title, and I like the landing posture with the swept back wings. His beak full of fish adds a nice touch. This is one species I really need to see in real life.:w

Nice composition and moment. I like Peter's fix - the whites are just too hot in the original post.

I appreciate the separation of the three birds. Comical and lovable little creatures, aren't they? Peter's repost and tutorial are highly useful.
