E-M10 at Bempton Cliffs & Flamborough Head
1

I had the E-M10 with the 75-300mm II and 12-40mm. Weather was varied, from rain to bright sun, but still a great day out.

Here are some shots:

Bempton Cliffs RSPB nature reserve on the East coast of England

Biggest mainland Gannet colony in the country

Parents with chicks

Can't remember the name of these birds

Flamborough Head lighthouse

This flew overhead towards Bridlington. Didn't find out why.

Seals in the bay!

An attempt at something "arty"

As is typical for a clifftop in England, it was very windy. All photos were taken handheld, and while a few were spoiled by movement/shake, the vast majority came out fine. White balance is a bit all over the place, but that's still an area where I need practice.

That's just Prince William on a practise run.

Great series, Mark. Thanks for taking us along!

I'm looking forward to going back next year around May/June when the Puffins arrive. I've never seen one in the wild, and was a little disappointed that I'd gone too late in the year this time.

If you want Puffins go to the Farne Islands a bit further up the coast in Northumberland. A visit there will be one of the great days of your life.
