Behind The Lens

Location

At The Farne Isles, near Seahouses, Northumberland

Time

At around 12 noon

Lighting

Natural lighting was used for this photo

Equipment

I used my Canon 7D, and Sigma 120-400mm Lens

Inspiration

I've wanted to take images of Puffins for a long while and when the opportunity arose, I jumped at the chance!

Editing

Hardly any processing was used other than levels and curves, and a crop

In my camera bag

Anything and everything!!

Feedback

Always bear in mind the needs of the animals, so no flash!
