Atlantic Puffin Photography
The Atlantic Puffin, with its clownish painted bill & comically upright stance, is one of the most rewarding subjects NaturesLens brings clients to photograph, offering close, low-angle opportunities as the birds shuffle between burrows & clifftop perches. Patience & a steady long lens are rewarded handsomely here, as puffins are often remarkably tolerant of a quiet, well-positioned photographer.
