I love the painterly quality of this image captured before sunrise in light fog during my Deluxe Puffins Galore Workshop last August 11 (2022). I processed another version with more contrast, virtually eliminating the fog, but I prefer this version. Notice that I chose to use 10,000 ISO to properly expose the image while using an action-stopping 1/5,000s shutter speed. My Sony 200-600mm has become my most used and much-loved lens :)

This is a dream deluxe photography tour: Dreamlike accommodations in a newly restored lighthouse just feet away from nesting Atlantic Puffins and Razorbills on a small island in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, Quebec, Canada, with gourmet food.

Timed to coincide with the very best time to be at the colony with the Puffins returning with fish to feed their young.
Group size limited to 5-8 photographers (price is per person in single or double occupancy as desired, with only five rooms available).
Exclusive use of the lighthouse and accommodations mean that we will be the island’s only inhabitants.
The small group size means more assistance and one-on-one guidance and coaching for every participant.
Long lenses are not mandatory for this tour; 200-600mm reach is adequate for an impressive portfolio.
Photographers of all levels are welcome, the tour pace will suit everyone’s needs and skill level.
Owners of all camera brands are welcome; my 40 years of professional photography include the last five years as a Sony ambassador, 16 years using Canon as a Canon Northern Explorer of Light and 16 years using Nikon before that. I can help anyone with any brand improve their photography.
