As mentioned I spent two mornings on the Farne Islands off the Northumbrian Coast in the UK.
The weather was dull mostly but it opened up enough briefly to get some flight shots. The Puffins nest in holes like a colony of Hobbits and they come in with full beaks to feed their young. They fly fast and straight but have rather stunted wings that are used like flippers when swimming under water. They are reported to flap their wings at 300-400 beats per minute.....I did not count them but they are rapid. I tried speeds at 1/3000-1/4000 but there was still wing blur. 1/8000 seemed to do the trick....but it is hard work. Canon EOS1Dx, 100-400mm lens @300mm, 1/8000, f9, ISO 1600 Cheers Graeme |
