Always do, but this one was about my home state! Great Maine images and I'm sure you have many more. So sorry to hear about your polarizer. Those "little accidents" happen when you least expect it and damn if they aren't over in a split second - ugh! Oh well, come on back to Maine when you can! Really enjoyed your post, Ian.

The puffins get real close, so lenses in the range of 200-400mm are probably most useful. Longer lenses are great for tight portraits.

I do have a question for you. I am going to Machias Island in July and was curious as to what focal lengths would be helpful to photograph the puffins from the blind. (assuming full frame.) Thanks Juan Garcia Ian,
Lovely images.

Excellent work. I was the other photographer on the Puffin Tour on Tuesday. I also thought it was a great day on the island. While you and Alex gave me your cards as we chatted afterward, I'm not sure that I even introduced my wife (Barb) and myself. So hello again, I'm Ed Vatza. We are still in Bar Harbor (will be until Wednesday). I was checking out the cobble beaches yesterday and am hoping for the rains to pass and skies to clear so I can get some sunrise shots in before we leave. Hi Ian. Excellent work.
