Morning

Lynn and I attended the screening of the Maitland International Salon 2016 exhibition on Wednesday night. It was fantastic to see all the prints and digital images displayed on a big screen. There were some amazing shots there and it created an inspiration to get out there and take more photos.

My image, "Puffin in the Mist" , a Tufted Puffin taken on one of the Russian Arctic Islands, received 13/15 from the judges and is attached below.

It was the middle of a bright sunny day and the mist rolled in from the sea and rose up the cliff. Ten seconds later the bird disappeared in the mist.

Other than cropping , very little was done in post processing, gotta love that when it works. I shot it with a CANON 7D MarkII with a 300mm f2.8 CANON lens , ISO 640,f5.6 and 1/1250 shutter speed.
