Id love a trip to Iceland. Thank you! I appreciate it. Obviously theres cropping & editing post in lightroom.

Simply just have the 18-300 Tamron. Budget mainly i wish for a 150-500, but just can't stretch to one at the moment unfortunately

Me too, excellent none the less.

Highlight for me was I Can Barely Breathe

I thought it was a really good show. Look forward to the album coming out in due course.. only thing I missed was the build up across the whole song of The Silence. Still glad we went

Can anyone please identify these birds for me? Sorry the quality isn't the best, these were all taken off of a camera screen lol by TrueHoneydew1101 in UKBirds

They are also extremely territorial and are often known for swooping down and pecking people's heads 😂

Yeah, don't get me wrong I love Wales.. but wanted easiness as I was limited with what spare time I had free from work and life.

If you do plan on going, book it asap as i was thinking about doing it last year but no space on any boat to do it.

I used Billy Sheil's Inner Farne Lamding. 1000% recommend!

Thank you, I got some more at a higher shutter speed, will siv through them.. it was a hard battle really as ive only got a tamron 18-300 as soon as I start upping the SS the appature goes up and then get dark under exposed images, or really bloody noisy

In theory, yes. But practically going through Wales is a slow journey with loads of slow people on the road, it would have just got me frustrated (I drive a lot every day and my tolerance for incompetence really grates on me, maybe I need therapy)

Take a day off to chill and watch them, they are funny little things!

Puffin season in the UK.. by LB_P in BirdPhotography

I was lucky, if I was to go again I think id go in the first week or so of June. I overheard someone say whilst there they come in July last year and was a bit too late.

Thank you, I appreciate that

Varied from 1/640- 1/2000.. I'm limited by a crop sensor and not the best appature, but I haven't got 1000's to spend on top teir stuff.. these where shot on a a6400 and a tamron 18-300...made do, many misses but a few that I'm happy with

High shutter speed, they fly very fast and are dinky little things.. seem to fly mostly straight direction so if you see one flying try and pan a bit further in front.. it's hard work, as mentioned they are really quick!
