This particular place is likely my favourite place on earth. Of course I haven’t seen it all yet. Eshaness brings me peace. I’ve been here a few times in our two trips to Shetland and I’ve gotten to see it under a few different conditions. There is something to be said for familiarity.
Guillemot Pair
While in Shetland in the summer you must go to the Isle of Noss where Thousands of pairs of seabirds nest. They have Guillemots, Shags, Gannets and likely lots that I’m not remembering too. You can get into the island via a boat between Noss and Bressay if you want to walk the island but we took a boat tour that takes you directly to the nesting site. It’s hard in a situation like that yo isolate birds in a frame but I manages this shot of a pair of Guillemots. Amazing how much they resemble small penguins. I like the environmental composition in this. Who says we have to fill the frame?

Awhile back I took a series of images of these mushrooms in Frontenac Park. I entered one of the series in a club competition. I recieved a Judge’s comment mentioning the clutter on the forest floor around them and a crop problem as well. As an experiment, I cropped this to as tight as I could and darkened the remainder of the background so to pop the mushrooms much more in the frame. I’ll let you be the judge as to whether that judge was correct or not. Is that the Mario Brothers theme song I hear?
