When we were in homer we arranged to have a small boat take us out into Kachemak Bay to try to see some puffins. We found some after a short while but photographing them was near impossible. The waves were rough this day.. the boat was rocking up and down wildly and the puffins too were going up and down with the waves. Needless to say it made for very tricky shooting conditions.

Horned Puffin - Kachecmak Bay, Alaska

Wow, I love this shot. It takes me back to when I was about 10 years old and we saw puffins in Newfound Land. Simply amazing.

The fact that it was tricky only makes this beautiful shot more worthwhile. The action in the image is great and the puffin itself is well-exposed, sharp, and captured at just the right moment. It would perhaps be nice with a little more room in front of the bird (for it to 'fly into', so to speak), but that's a minor nit-pick.

Great shot, but you caught him in quite an awkward pose. Good capture of a singular moment.

I'm a little foggy,
Puffins are the kind of birds that run ontop of the water first, before taking off, right?

Excellent composition, it really adds to the tense feeling of the moment. The colours are perfect, too.


My goodness, that puffin has a downright determined expression...
