Those are absolutely brilliant mate. I'm a photographer myself and know how tricky action shots can be, but not only are these technically good action shots, the actual balance of the compositions and the clarity/colour of the shots is great. Nice one! :TU:

Yeah, good pics.

I didn't think the cut was that bad untill I saw that. Never thought it was a "stoppable" cut.... it was worse the Morris'

Great pictures.

What sort of camera do you use? I'm after a new one - I work down the Falklands from time to time and go to the penguin colonies. My current camera doesn't do them justice.

I did - I was down Volunteer Point about a month ago!!! Went to Sea Lion and Saunders as well, as well as a few other spots around East Falkland.

I was at MPA with the Met Office for 10 weeks. Got to back for another couple of 10 week stints next year. Next time I go it'll be winter, so I doubt I'll get out and about quite as much.
