    Puffins!

    So the puffins were far on this spot, but we were happy to have seen some already. Then someone stated the next platform had them closer. Obviously none there when we arrived but it take not long before some showed up:

    Puffins!

    As announced I was planning Puffin trips, the first one is over, results will come here in the next days. First opportunity were the Bempton Cliffs in the UK. Bad weather made the Puffins easy to find we were told, so it was: our Puffin trip started off well.

    D500 day 2: have the feeling that the 300mm PF + 1.7TC and the breading season are helping a lot. Clearly the D500 does help.

    Confused about telephoto choice

    Truth about XQD cards for the D500 - Lexar 1400

    Bird photography,lens,subject size,crop and working distance for beginers

    I just cracked for a TC1.7 EII so I started testing in the house: For all D7000 + 300mm PF (meant to do all full open, but had some concentration loss during the session it seems): Imagine you see a little bird at about 5m and you can use a tripod + remote (usually a feeder set up with a...

    The reason there has been very limited input in 2017 till now: Daylight is limited and it is cold, so outside of work it is difficult to go out and find photo opportunities.
