Return of the puffins

The puffins are back! Well, at least in my blog. I was flipping through my pictures from Iceland from this summer, and discovered I have yet to process a large chunck of puffin pictures. So, in the next couple of weeks, a puffin will be sticking it's head out every once in a while here. Maybe you can spot him through the grass!

Flying Bullet!

On a walk in the snow this past saturday, we came by tall hedges on the edge of a field in which lots of green finches living in them. As we walked, they flitted around from tree to tree, and formed small flocks on the branches. All at once, many of them took to flight, and shot through the air not far from us. I aimed my camera in their direction and shot photos, hoping to maybe get a decent shot of one of them. This came out of it. A bullet of a bird shooting through the air, feet and wings folded in. The picture isn't terribly sharp, but the action of the shot speaks for itself.

Sunset

Sunset in Hamm. This picture looked almost like this out of camera. I only did some very minor developing (just adjusted the light values slightly) in lightroom. I'm happy with my new Canon 60D!
