PHOTOGRAPHING PUFFINS on SKOMER ISLAND - WILDLIFE VLOG with the CANON 1DXMKII

I wasn't going to release this video, due to bad audio. However when I mentioned it on a previous video, I received a lot of comments and messages saying you'd like to see it. So here it is...
In this one I visit the stunning island of Skomer, off the Pembrokeshire coast, to photograph Atlantic puffins.
This was probably the video I had most difficulty editing so far, due to wind and bad audio, but I love puffins and it was brilliant fun to try and capture some different images of them in golden light.
The wide angle images are some of my favourite puffin images to date.
I hope you enjoy the video and if you haven't already I'd really appreciate it if you could subscribe to my channel. I'm so grateful for the subscribers I've received so far and look forward to seeing how the channel can grow going forward.
.................
If you'd like to join me for some puffin workshops next year then please contact me through my website (link below).
.................
The camera equipment I used for this video;
Canon 1dxmkii
Canon 500mm f4
Canon 24-105mm ii
Canon 18-14mm
Canon M50
Edited in iMovie

    Fantastic stuff Richard. I visited Skomer in 2019, in July on a blisteringly hot day. Got the 11am ferry across & picked up again at 4pm, very hot, very harsh light but WHAT a place! I vowed to go back & stay on the island for the sunrise & sunset golden hours, but covid ruined them plans. I will go back again sometime for sure. Some fantastic images & footage there, very nice.

    Hi Richard, I live about 10 minutes away from where the boat departs for Skomer and I have visited the island on numerous occasions. However, to my shame I have never had an overnight stay which is something that I intend to rectify next year. As you say, it really is a magical place and even better when the crowds of day visitors have left. Of course, being Wales you have to expect just a little bit of rain now and then. Beautiful lighting on those sunset images, obviously something that cannot be achieved on a day trip. All the best.
