I took my new long lens to the Zoo on Monday. It was raining and a lot of my favourite large animals were off display, but thanks to the long lens I was finally able to get some decent shots of the puffins. These birds are in a relatively dark enclosure with a glass window that is covered in condensation. As such its hard to get good shots. Thanks to the long lens, and the new Lightroom AI Noise Reduction, I was able to finally get the light and reach I needed to snag some good shots. The noise reduction and light refraction from the condensation gave some of these shots a cool ethereal quality which I dig. Happy accidents!
