Here is an image from a dark and overcast day during my Deluxe Puffins Galore Photo Tour in 2019. Knowing how much I dislike completely white skies, I shot this loose with the intention of replacing the sky with a more visually appealing one :) After I finished the colour version, I immediately thought that I would like to see a black & white version; Leave a comment with your preference, and why you prefer one over the other.

I have done Chris’ Puffins Galore workshop twice. The Puffins workshop is absolutely top-notch. Chris is an excellent host, along with his wife Julie, and is one of the premiere bird photographers in the world. You will learn tons and go home with a portfolio of Puffin (and razor bill) portraits and flight with fish. Also, the accommodations and food are excellent on the island. Do it, if there is room. - Frank Sheets

I have been in search of the ultimate destination for an Atlantic Puffin workshop/safari for a very long time. The mandate was simple; find a location that is within reach, safe and easy to get to without a dangerous boat landing on slippery rocks and a place where we can get close to these comical little seabirds without hauling our gear up, and over, huge distances or having to hang over towering cliffs; a place where anyone can comfortably reach, regardless of age or physical ability; a place with reliable, safe and easy boat landings. I have photographed Atlantic Puffins in Iceland, England, Scotland, Wales, Maine, Newfoundland, New Brunswick and Quebec; All of these "known" places have their drawbacks., and I simply can't imagine subjecting my clients to the abuse. Mission accomplished; I have found Puffin Paradise. 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.
