animalmaster6 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Great Puffin Shots!!! I love the first one the best. I got it with the 18-55 IS lens for around $900 I believe. Had to save........for several months iknoright? Took me forever to get enough for it. It was SO SO SO worth it though!!! Did you see Neb's pics with his new T1i? Link to comment
el fabuloso Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Coolio. What species Fab? I actually saw both the Tufted and Horned Puffin I don't know where they're from specifically but they're Atlantic puffins. That's all I know. Link to comment

el fabuloso Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 No zoos or aquariums around here have them though That's strange considering their range isn't that far from you. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 Yeah it is pretty odd. I never seen them unless I go to Florida. It seems like the zoos down there always have them lol. Link to comment

Dani3d Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 I recently went to photograph the Atlantic puffin, their cousin. When I lived in California I wanted to go photograph those with the tuft but never managed to get to the island where they nest. I took my revenge here in Quebec spending 2 days with them on their island! Very nice photo of one taking flight..here is what the Atlantic puffin looks like, but I wish I could have seen the tufted one too! that's lame to say the least. Those are Atlantic puffins. I was told that people use to kill and eat them. Now things have changed because no puffins no tourists..so shooting at them would be shooting in their own foot. At least I hope they don't kill them any longer. That's a dumb thing to do as they are so tiny with nearly no meat and they are so beautiful like a colorfull painting. I hate hunters Link to comment
