Great focus pun. Would love to see how you edit some of your photos at some point!

Great video man!! ☺️🙌🏻 lol to the camera falling at the end, probably gave you a heart attack haha

A lots of love all the way from Pakistan your amazing
Thank you very much
what time of year were you there?
Do you know how would it be at early month of may? I've read the muffins start to arrive in April.
greetings from Brazil
Hello there. So sorry I missed this comment. Yeah. May would be great!!
Class shots of Puffins.Can you please share details of tour operator who arranges trip to isle of May from Edinburgh ,expecially to the habitat of sea birds and marine wildlife?
Hi there. Check out the Scottish seabird centre in North Berwick. It’s not far from Edinburgh
Great and informative video, also your pictures are amazing. Which lens did you use, is it the Sony 200-600? I'm planning a trip to Ireland at the end of May and would also love to photograph puffins. I was wondering if a 70-200 with a 2x extender would be sufficient to photograph them.
This would be good yeah. You can get pretty close to them but it depends on the area too
is there a best time of the day to visit. The boats out of anstruther are tidally constraint so the arrival times to the island vary greatly. I have never been but would love to visit. Many thanks in advance.
The boats are very tide dependant indeed. I’ve made a couple of vides from different times. The website will have better info but I know that if you go mid/late season the adults will be fishing more to feed the chicks and you can get shots with the same eels in their beaks
do you mind sharing what lens did you use?
Sure thing. This was all on the Sony 200-600
i have a 18-200 f3.5-5.6 canon lens. do you reckon it will be enough for this type of photography?
Hi planning to visit the area but what time is best for the island? May or April? or June?
Hi there. The best info is maybe on the Scottish Seabird website but from experience if you go a little later in the season when the chicks have hatched you will have more chance to see Puffins with beaks full of sand eels.
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography thanks..so is it june?
Great video Andrew. I am up at seahouses in a couple of weeks, would to rate the Isle of May a better place to photograph Puffins? Cheers and thanks again
Thanks Ian. To be honest the Isle of May is the only place I’ve been to shoot puffins. There are thousands there!!! The trips from North Berwick tend to book up fast tho. Either way I hope you see them !
Isle of May
Yes that’s the Isle of May
Dear plz visit Pakistan
Hi Andrew what kind of bag do you have for your telephoto lens
Hi there. In this video I’m using one of the Lowepro ProTactic BP 450 AW II but I’ve literally just purchased the f-stop gear - tilopa 50l duradiamond for future use
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography Thank you so much. I really enjoyed your videos and shared it to my friends. We are visiting Iceland to see the Puffins this June.
@@peterb.7437 awesome! That will be a fantastic trip!!
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography Superb video and channel. Should have way more views than it does... I'm also interested in your bag and gear and how you pack it, what you take and how you have it all set up for easy access when quick photo opportunities arise. You could maybe do a 'how you pack' or 'whats in your bag' type videos. Also, you should come to Shetland to see our puffins too!
Why are you back from Africa? two videos in a row :-)
I’ll be back in Africa soon, Scotland is my home 😃
@@AndrewMacdonaldPhotography Cool, I gathered you were Scottish from you accent :-) But I got worried that something maybe wrong on either end. It's not like Scotland is nearby to get home for the weekend :-)
😊😊😊 Done subscribe now i can watch more😀😀😄😄
Haha yes and thank you. Now you can see the whole experience!
