Here's my first processed puffin from Iceland. This is full frame and no crop. I wish i had more shutter speed but i was already at iso 2000 and this is all new gear for me so i wanted to play it safe. Dodged the eyes, sharpened, NR, and desaturated orange a few points. It was very very windy and it was amazing to witness puffins managing the wind, maneuvering themselves so gracefully, and witnessing puffin poses I have never ever seen before. With this gusty westerly wind, the puffins would over shoot their home base, balance themselves during a hover, and if it was a go they would catch the wing slide backwards, and then move sideways for the landing. If they couldn't touch down during the attempt, they would fly out to the sea, circle, and try again.
