Canon R5 with 100-500mm best allround lens I have ever used, better than the EF 200-400mmOtter Spotter . Love the photos. What lens were you using?
Thanks. I’m using the R at the moment and hoping to upgrade to the R5 this year. I bought the RF 100-400 which I’m very happy with, but sometimes wish I’d waited and got the 100-500. How did you find the autofocus on the R5?Canon R5 with 100-500mm best allround lens I have ever used, better than the EF 200-400mm
Stunning, once Frankie from Canon showed me the best setting for BIF. One of the benefits of being a member of the ’Canon club’ their techies arrange and attend trips to photo ops and on this one Frankie brought around £1,000,000 worth of bodies and lenses for us to loan for the day and play with so I borrowed a R3 fitted with RF70-200mm, loved the camera but can’t justify the £5,000 for minimal improvements. If you are considering buying new then have a look at ukcameraclub.co.uk for great prices or mpb.com for 2nd hand. Pm me if you get the R5 and I can tell you how to set it up if you want.Thanks.

Skomer is great because the Puffins are so used to humans and will come within 2 feet from you.Brilliant shots. We got very close to puffins in the Faroes a few years back, scurrying away from the footpath into their burrows and out as soon as we'd passed.

Wow, you got a shot of the white Puffin ! It stayed on the water all day so we couldn’t get near itI absolutely love skomer too. Otter Spotter you went at best time as well, whilst young are being fed.
here's an example of type of opportunity. Feeding, a puffling, the white one. (Only one ever seen, didn't return next year, was probably predated, explanation given to me). Overview how many are about (look in the sky)

My shots were from 2018. I was early this year and the day after foul weather so almost everything was out fishing and feeding up. The days of queing up at 6:30am are gone but booking 4 months in advance guessing the weather isnt fun either.Wow, you got a shot of the white Puffin !

I didn’t see any Pufflings and we only saw a few bringing food in so getting the flying shot was hard but I was chuffed when I got it
Yes next year and we will be stopping on the island if I can get booked in before the farm house is booked up solidMy shots were from 2018.

The flying shot is one i'd be more than chuffed with.
Wife has just piped up her white puffin photos are better than mine. the joy of not changing lenses.( an old Nikon Bridge)
If you've been there once you'll be there again.
