Thwarted by incompetent weather forecasting again! Set my alarm in order to photograph what promised to be a decent sunrise, only to find it had changed to dull thick cloud, so delayed. Even well after sunrise it remained dark and gloomy but at least stayed fine. The Sony RX10 would be tested today! I have found that changing between settings A and S are critical to get the sharpest images. I am struggling with small birds and also with "grain" at low light. It is not easy, but I will master the machine!
A quiet day and another "thank goodness for the Gannets!".
Adult year 5+ Gannets
Although most of the Gannets have left the ledges, there are good numbers in flight along the coast and on the sea. A few remain loyal to their nest sites and there are still a number of Gugas being serviced, but they are ready to fledge.
A year 2 imm Gannet
A few Fulmar are still in the area
'till next time...
