    Default Puffin in flight

    Hi all,

    Another puffin from the Farne Islands. This day was very sunny so light got harsh. I have more images where the sun is perfectly behind me but I liked the head on view of this one. In post, lifted shadows and brought highlights a bit, a slight crop, a bit of NR on BG and sharpened in PS.

    Camera: Nikon D500
    Lens: 200-500mm f/5.6 at 350mm
    Specs: 1/3200 ISO 640 f/6.3

    Thanks for looking and commenting on prior posts!

    I can't believe no one has commented on this fine photo.
    There is nothing more challenging than to get a tack sharp image of a fast moving bird approaching the camera.
    Love the BG of grass and sea.
    Good DOF and the feet are pretty darn sharp.
    Light is bright but this image is all about flight, so I am OK with the light.
    Nice wing position and the beak full of fish really adds.
    Very well done Alex!
