A very conventional puffin

Re: A very conventional puffin

Hi Andy - yes they are "sand eels" as they are conventionally known, but they are actually fish rather than eels. There are several types and they swim in large shoals, which the Puffins presumably dive down to and swim among, grabbing as they go.

Wikipedia has some more information on them.

not quite correct Ant as the white balance chosen will be reflected when you open your raw converter - the difference is it is much easier to tweak the WB with a raw file rather than a jpeg

Quite Stan, that's why I said doesn't change raw data. Unlike JPEG where your options are very much limited in pp.
