Turnstones, St Marys
Some time off work today gave me the chance to spend a couple of hours at St Mary’s: purely by luck, I arrived just at the top of the tide, and before long it dropped just enough for me to get onto it, and for a fun couple of hours it was just me and the Turnstones.
The light wasn’t great, but there was some sun now and again, which is a lot more than the weather forecast gave me to anticipate. That said, I was at 800 ISO for several of these, and 1250 ISO for one – but you won’t know which from just looking at the images (Exif is in all of ‘em – see if you guessed right).

I think I’ll need to revisit my post processing for 7D shots. None of these look as sharp and detailed at this size and resolution as they do at bigger sizes – they’re very sharp.
I’m not quite there with the colours from Capture One 5 conversions either. That said, the colours from the RAW files are very “warm”, and the seaweed is really colourful.
I think a website rework is in order too, so that I can post bigger files.
very good Keith I see you are doing really well with the 7D.
Tried e-mailing you recently to arrange next day out.
I had two possible for ISO1250 and managed to get it in the two, it was the tail feathers that made me choose it! My wrong guess was number 2 as I thought the large light brown bit on left looked a little noisey.
