I'm just back from two fun and exciting, back-to-back PUFFINS GALORE AND SO MUCH MORE workshops. What a trip! We had tons of fun photographing tiny Atlantic Puffins that fly at 55 mph. Here's just two of the more than 1,200 keepers from the trip that I still have to edit and cut down by a great deal. I've just announced two trips back there next July. Be sure to book early!: PUFFINS GALORE AND SO MUCH MORE

Jobu Jr. 3 Does it again!

My tried and trusted Jobu Jr. 3 Gimbal head proved itself yet again! This time we noticed that it also is the right choice for getting down low. It's smaller size means that you are closer to the ground when your tripod is at it's lowest; not only offering a lower perspective, but also putting less strain on your back and neck as you look through the viewfinder. The lock-down of both the vertical and horizontal adjustment knobs are still holding strong, and second to none! Be sure to check out my mini-review of the Jobu JR. 3 and find a discount code HERE.

PUFFINS GALORE Workshop / Safari

Both of these images were made during last year's Puffins Galore workshop / safari. It's not too late to join-in for the adventure, daily boat voyage and awesome photography. This is the very best place in the world to photograph Atlantic Puffins and Razorbills fishing, with fish in their bills, in flight and in golden light. Follow the links to learn more...

THE Puffin Pad REVIEW

I have only just received a sample of the Puffin Pad and have not put it through it's paces in the field, but from my testing today, this is a great alternative to your heavy beanbag. It weighs only 3.4 oz and is made of durable automotive foam that measures 7"L x 5"W x 5"H. There is a window groove along the underside of the long side that fits firmly and snugly onto a partially retracted window and a 1/2 thick piece of memory foam on it's top - perfect to keep your lens/camera in place. Turn it over to use it as a support on the roof of your car, or inside a Frisbee on the beach. Be sure to order the optional tether kit for easy transport while in the field. I'm already converted and sure you'll be hearing more from me about this great new product in the future.
