Very difficult to capture these speeding bullets as they whizz past at high speed, but I managed a few reasonable flight shots on my recent trip to Pembrokeshire:
The weather was closing in by now, and for this last shot I had to resort to a high ISO to get a fast enough shutter speed:
Within a half-hour, just before we boarded the boat to the mainland, it was starting to rain.
However, it seemed we timed the trip well, as it coincided with about the only three dry days we've had this summer!

Ca-hem...I would say you got some absolutely awesome flight captures Jeremy! These are all wonderful! I love all of them and this makes me even desire more in my heart to view them one day for real. In the meantime, I am, enjoying your shares~
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, and lucky you on the weather.Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteAwesome captures, Jeremy! I never get to see this in Montreal. Thank you so much for sharing.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Jeremy, I could not have done an in-flight situation, well done.
ReplyDeleteYour photos from this special bird are amazing and gorgeous !
ReplyDeleteThese are just brilliant. They appear to be just hanging in the air in some of your pictures, you seem to have captured some of their personality too.
ReplyDeleteGreat puffin shots. I know how tought those flight shots are! Must visit Skomer one day - looks better than the Farnes to me for these birds..
ReplyDeletethese are wonderful! amazing that such tough, stout little birds w/ heavy beaks can fly! :)
ReplyDeletethank you for stopping by! really appreciate it!
Utterly, utterly stunning, Jeremy ... and having just read Derek Brockway on the weather for Wales (and doubtless here too, judging by the soaking we had yesterday in Felixstowe) for July, I think you picked the right day!
ReplyDeleteYou must be delighted with some of those flight shots Jeremy, great 'owl like hovering pose' in one of those.
ReplyDeleteMy dear friend, summer isn't over but I hoppe the rainy days soon.
ReplyDeleteLove all your pictures. I enjoy your shots. Number 9 is so sweet. Thanks, Jeremy!
Wonderful series.
ReplyDeleteGreat job!
Jeremy, what a fabulous watercolour (here) your puffin pics inspired. Came across it almost by accident as I picked a few items in my feed.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's!
ReplyDeleteNice blog!
Greetings,
Meike
Thanks for your kind comments, and Caroline thanks for alerting me to Gillian's painting. Looks great, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteAmazing shots! I would never have thought of puffins as being good flyers, they look so heavy in the head and body. Beautifully captured.
ReplyDeleteAmazing photos, congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI love these guys, they remind of parrots with their incredible beaks!
I wish I could manage such shots!
Cheers Jeremy!
