Stuff<\/h3>\n

I have slept great the first two nights with not a trace of jet lag. I always do great flying to places; not so good flying back home regardless of the direction. Tired as we were after the first day of puffins, most of us made it out after dinner to photograph a nearby castle (with the bonus of a rising full moon). After another great dinner of haddock two ways with steamed broccoli\/cauliflower\/kale prepared by yours truly the group continues to rave enthusiastically about the chef: me. This blog post, the 173rd in a row–what is wrong with me?, is scheduled to be published automatically at 9:00am eastern time on Wednesday, July 1. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This image was created on Day 1 of the UK Puffins and Gannets IPT with the hand held Canon EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens<\/a> (at 400mm) and the Canon EOS-1D X.<\/a> ISO 400. Evaluative metering +1 stop: 1\/1600 sec. at f\/6.3. <\/p>\n

Center AF point (Manual selection)\/AI Servo Expand\/Shutter button AF as originally framed was active at the moment of exposure (as is always best when hand holding). The selected and active AF point was on the base of the bird’s right wing, just past the plane of the eye, yet the eye was sharp. Click on the image to see a larger version. <\/p>\n
