Disappointing - puffins were so far away even a 600mm lens wouldn't get them!!
RSPB Rathlin West Light Seabird Centre的点评
点评:Full of expectation and armed with my long camera lens I got the puffin bus to the RSPB reserve.. it was a rickety old bus. On arrival I was told that my return bus was just one hour later and when questioned was brusquely advised that it was not a shuttle service and I may not get back if i missed the bus. Then the queue to get in to the reserve was long (eating in to my hour) so I asked a guide if I needed to queue as I was a member - he said that I did.
10 minutes later another guide said I could go straight through...
I arrived at the platform and the rock formations are stunning but the puffins were so far away and low down the cliff even my 600mm lens would not do them justice.
I do not think the RSPB are fair on their marketing of this site... for me, a disappointment of a day.. it turned out that an hour was plenty enough time as there was nothing to see that was near enough to photograph with a 600mm lens!!
翻译:我满怀期待,带着长焦镜头,搭乘前往皇家鸟类保护协会(RSPB)保护区的海鹦巴士……那是一辆摇摇晃晃的旧巴士。抵达后,我被告知回程巴士仅一小时后到,并被粗暴地告知这不是班车服务,如果错过了巴士可能就回不来了。之后,进入保护区的队伍很长(浪费了我一个小时的时间),于是我问一位导游,我是会员,是否需要排队——他说需要。
10分钟后,另一位导游说我可以直接穿过去……
我到达了平台,岩层令人叹为观止,但海鹦离我太远,而且在悬崖下很低的地方,即使我的600mm镜头也拍不出来它们的真面目。
我觉得RSPB对这个保护区的宣传不太公平……对我来说,这一天真是令人失望……结果发现,一个小时的时间已经足够了,因为附近没有什么东西可以用600mm镜头拍摄!
