Well, since my return from Skomer last week it`s been head-down editing in the evenings (after a number made it to the "not-quite-there" bin). It was nearly all Puffin from the trip, apart from some gulls, but the challenge for me was to try and make shots photogenic in composition.
I did make some rather shaky, handheld video - not too easy with a heavy Sigma 150-600mm lens, and only have some brief clips put together and slowed down.
Next year I might take the tripod to work on this, although I don`t think I could practically take anything else up those steps on the island!
I first went to Skomer this year back at the end of May, and last minute decided to use my then-new Canon R6 mkii, which I had only partially set up as i`d bought it only the previous afternoon!! Mirrorless being different to DSLR, it was a test then, but this time around I found the camera pretty bang-on, despite the harshness of lighting. Nearly all the time the eye focussing hit the spot, and with some shots I took, the ISO override was really responsive .
It`s still early days in terms of using the full potential of the camera.
Lots to do, and lots to learn - all when there`s time of course.
