Nice work. Thank you for sharing your love of nature and the great rewards you receive photographing them. I am an East-Central Floridian with ancestors from Scotland. This video added sites I am interested in seeing during a hoped for upcoming return to Scotland - with a major objective being finding Puffin habitats to photo the incredibly cute birds. Nice shots!! I will no seek spots around Aberdeen to visit.

Stellar! Loved the last shot of the Puffin with the grass in it's mouth.

I prefer your landscape work which is fabulous. But despite that , I still enjoy your discussions on all topics.

@crowtheri 4 года назад

You made everyone smile this morning, Kim! How the birds are with each other, how they interact with the environment around them, and that last shot where the bird is looking at you with nest / bed fodder in its beak, is wonderful. Thanks for taking us to the seaside :)

Puffins! You made my day sharing your beautiful photos of the Puffins and your connection with nature. I find I always come away with a new appreciation the birds when I just stop my hectic pace and spend a quiet hour or two observing them. Really good for the soul. Thanks for sharing your love of nature.

Great shots of the Puffins Photographing Puffins is something i have always wanted to do as they are a beautiful bird. Hopefully one day it will happen

@williamcinco2489 4 года назад

Wow❤️ nice...another bird photography KIM...

@petermcguire3070 4 года назад

Beautiful set of photos Kim, I don`t think there are any puffins near me down here in Devon.

@jillbaxter4533 4 года назад

I love your diversity. Landscape, macro, wildlife and all captured beautifully. Only trouble is I now want a long range lens! I was out yesterday and there were birds of prey above me but I don't have the lens to capture them. I could have had some stunning photos 😪 Thank you Kim your images are superb & who doesn't love a puffin?!

@garywildman9439 4 года назад

Hi Kim,I'm currently living in Findochty and always go for walks to photograph sea birds,i have to say your videos are inspiring and very informative.Keep up the videos,i look forward to seeing them.

@kathyperkins7628 2 года назад

Thank you Kathy

@tombunker429 4 года назад

Such a lovely, lovely experience for me too! Thanks for sharing your puffin outing.

@Chazthefurr Год назад

Maybe sail to the Isle of May from Arnstruther in Fife where there are an estimated 92,000 puffins, as well as other seabirds, seals, an occasional whale and some spectacular cliffs, lighthouses & all that. A brilliant day out. Best later in June or July when they are out of their burrows and you get shots of puffins with sandeels in the mouths.

@malcolmross3782 4 года назад

Hello Kim, another top class video with a selection of great shots. Well done great job. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe on your photography outings 😷

@geoffscott5066 4 года назад

wonderful photos Kim. with the first image the bird in flight looks headless. Puffins are a great subject for sure!

@grahamallen3941 4 года назад

Lovely photos Kim of the puffins and I fully appreciate that you got away from the standard photo of puffins with a beak full of sand eels !! Great to see them on the cliff edge . All the best Graham.🐦📸🐞

@clivewelch1025 4 года назад

Hi Kim yes this was absolutely beautiful I loved the images and it's so nice to think that even birds can fall in love or am I just being an old romantic. Until next time take care and stay safe.

@johnscott3714 4 года назад

Great images once again Kim. A lot of people will only ever see wildlife, because they are housebound for whatever reason, because of the efforts of someone like yourself. Well done, Kim!

@andywhiteside16 4 года назад

Beautiful pics Kim that's on my bucket list to capture shots of puffins never seen any yet in the wild but maybe next year.

@andreleroux7484 4 года назад

I enjoy your range of great nature photography. Well done.

@TheNonsenseAdventures 4 года назад

Do enjoy the way you can jump from landscape photography to educational about Scotland itself and then onto wildlife. It's not just a "here's my amazing photos" it's always got more story and education in it. Im missing my puffin fix, saw them at Sumburgh the last 2 years.

@LisaFrostPhoto 4 года назад

Aw gotta love puffins! On a trip to Scotland a few years ago we went to Handa Island in the hopes of seeing some even though it was the very beginning of the season. As luck would have it I got to see a single, solitary one, which I was so grateful for. Gorgeous creatures and I really enjoyed you taking us to photograph them!

@gingerbarry3831 4 года назад

Great pics Kim with a burst of orange

@vincentlerie2911 4 года назад

Beautiful birds especially their beaks. Where I live in the mid-Atlantic in the states we do not have them, so thanks for sharing!

@bobswezey7452 4 года назад

enjoyed your bird images as always and a good morning to you Kim ...

@CamillaI 4 года назад

Well done Kim you got some lovely shots in there always love a puffin

@PamelaMarshall 4 года назад

The noise of them was just amazing! Could hear them in the background! :) I remember seeing a toucan once in South America and didn't have my camera. Puffins look so chilled, would love to see them in the wild.

@williambartlett8595 4 года назад

Excellent as usual, Kim - great pics. We had a great time photographing the Gannets yesterday! Saw very few Puffins though, are they in a different location? Bill.

@fredfleming8905 4 года назад

Years ago I just missed the Puffin opportunity in the NE United States. It was great to see the many splendid shots of the little birds you did. Can you speak to what mode you shoot? Aperture, shutter or manual settings I assume shutter priority for moving birds? Why do you use 1/500 for birds sitting and not flying? Are Puffins still moving a little when they perch on the cliffs? Thank you again for another entertaining video.

@frankinblackpool 2 года назад

I’m off to Northumberland’s coastline this weekend and my main objective is to film some puffins. I have only seen them once, but this time I am armed with a sexy camera and a 400mm zoom lens. If I can capture anything half as good as your puffins then I will be content. 😀

@RODPIKERDRONESUK 4 года назад

Very nice indeed just beautiful 👍

@carlcrosby7035 4 года назад

Puffins are one of my favorite birds, and you captured them well! I enjoy your enthusiasm! BTW...do you do the video yourself? Excellent!

@richard-yz6cz 4 года назад

nice video Kim, i live in Australia, but was lucky enough to take a trip out to the farne islands a few years back, saw plenty of puffins there.

@patrickguilfoyle8884 3 года назад

Kim you should be proud of your images & video. Outstanding images except your 1st image of the puffins- you cut the head off the one flying...lol, kidding. Well done Thank you.

@natasjakoole3601 4 года назад

Love that spot but did not see puffins then, but last year I had the pleasure of spending a couple of hours on lunga with them. Definititely hard to track! Loved taking portrait type shots though as they are more individual than it might seem at first glance. Did love your shots with the beak rubbing behaviour.

@richardayres2949 4 года назад

Lovely images Kim. You could try putting your Z6 in DX format to give your lens more reach?

@ianmackenzie8584 4 года назад

Nope, it doesn't magnify - it just changes the field of view to a longer focal length.

@kevinpalmer7452 4 года назад

Lovely

@tectorama 4 года назад

Lovely. The only place I have seen a Puffin was at Ramsey Island in South Wales.. Although the last time we went, one had been killed by a gull.

@indusnatureandwildlifephot8132 4 года назад

Wonderful

@scrptwic 4 года назад

Kim I liked the last picture your lens is nice and sharp wide open my Tamron 75-300mm does not get sharp until f-11 maybe I'll try my Sigma 18-250 a sharper newer lens for wildlife photography I know it works good in landscape photography.

@petercraw8188 Год назад

Excellent! Will the Puffins still be there mid-September when I get there? I would love to see them in person. Great video.

@kimgrantphotography Год назад

Unfortunately not Peter. They're only around late April to the end of June (occasionally early July I'd your lucky). They have a very short breeding season

@guyyowell8547 4 года назад

Absolutely stunning images Kim. You really captured something special!! Perhaps you should try the Nikon 200-500mm f/5.6 for your wildlife photography. It’s a little big but I nice lens to have in your bag.

@jaycee6981 2 года назад

Great video again Kim, with lovely shots of these charismatic birds. Is this near Crawton?

@kimgrantphotography 2 года назад

Thank you. This was by Cruden Bay. You can see them near Crawton at Fowlsheugh though ☺️

@jaycee6981 2 года назад

Thanks for the info. Now we are getting the better weather and I am on holiday for the next week or so I will be making that trip to Rattray Head and Portknockie with the intention of visiting some places along the way

@thebeardedphotographer1595 4 года назад

Beautiful shots Kim! Just a quick question, what mode do you shoot in when photographing birds? I'm thinking shutter priority would be best. What are your thoughts?

@paulbarnard5267 4 года назад

From the data displayed it looks like Kim was using aperture priority with a fixed ISO. The aperture and ISO is the same for most of the images and the shutter speed changes. Your camera and lens makes quite a difference to what works best. The old school approach would be shutter priority as you suggest but current generation cameras and lenses let you mix it up to prioritise depth of field (Kim’s approach here), motion blur (shutter priority) or control of both motion and depth of field (manual with auto ISO).

@daveovington-brown4122 4 года назад

were those 300mm shots handheld?..and if so did you use any Image Stabilising? nice shots btw :)

@owenskene3946 4 года назад

Try using your crop-sensor camera. The 300 mm lens becomes 450.

@ianmackenzie8584 4 года назад

No it doesn't, it just gives the field of view of a 450mm, not the magnification.

@qwerty5oo 4 года назад

Lovely piece on puffins, do you fancy coming over to Lossiemouth for the ospreys?

@PamelaRuddyUKart 4 года назад

Which reserve did you visit for puffins? I was hoping to see some at Auchmithie yesterday but I had limited mobility and didn't know where to look so didn't go for a longer walk. I did see some fulmars though which was nice and briefly some dolphins went past. I've heard Fowlsheugh I think recommended for puffins which is near Stonehaven. I hope my knee recovers quickly so I can get back out before the breeding season is over.

@royjenkins-packer173 4 года назад

Beautiful images Kim, such lovely content. If possible can you tell us how you're doing with the Lighthouse project. Also have you heard of Tensi Ward, if you get time check her out. Thanks for sharing Kim.

@AndrewAliferis 4 года назад

Kim, Excellent captures. How do you determine your exposure settings?

@sarahtaylor8503 3 года назад

May I ask where you saw these Beautiful birds in Scotland?

@kimgrantphotography 3 года назад

This was the Bullers of Buchan in Aberdeenshire.

@robertscougal309 4 года назад

I went to to try and get photos of the puffins up here in Shetland and unfortunately I didn't manage to see any.

@rogerplested9484 4 года назад

Where do the Puffins migrate to.

@DonJoyce 4 года назад

Very enjoyable video! I think puffins suffer from their appearance as being cute and adorable. Clearly, when you look deep into their eyes, they are also thoughtful philosophers, contemplating the meaning of life. Webbed feet hamper their handwriting legibility unfortunately.
