I eventually managed at trip out to The May Isle yesterday, the weather was pretty good until we were just about to land when a force 4 gale rose up and brought heavy rain with it

Anyway, for better or worse here's the best I got......

All with the K3 and DA*300

Is this the May Isle you can see from Crail?

Whilst I find puffins endearing, the last picture of the tern shows off the elegance of the bird beautifully.

Your comment regarding the pecks has brought back similar memories of terns and great skuas

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.

A collection of manual primes to keep me in touch with the pleasures of doing it old-school.

Excellent set Brian. Only thing I'd suggest is not having the puffins so central. Give them a bit of room to fly into

That's the one John, it's titled The Isle of May on most maps but it is referred locally as the May Isle.

Thanks for the comments and advice, appreciated:0

I'll have another look at the crop, plenty of space either side in the original raw file.
