Before heading over to the Isle of Mull, I stopped over in Oban to try and find the resident Black Guillemots. Well I managed to find them, and had a wonderful photographing these charismatic little birds. I hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed the experience!

My hubby is a birder and the Black Guillemot is on his list to see when we got upto Scotland in October. I'm glad you found your mystery bird, hubbies nemesis is the wryneck, everytime he goes for, it's never where people report it to be, the joys of birding😊

Oh beautiful! I hope they're still there in October, I could be wrong, but I think they're only there during the breeding season. Ah I've never seen a wryneck either, would absolutely love to though. Thanks for the comment

Wow super photos. Im lucky to see them every day, and yes they dont seem to mind humans. I love how they stay in pairs a lot of the time. You picked a very quiet time to be in Oban, its manic with visitors just now. My friend had a sea eagle swoop down over her garden a couple of weeks ago !!! Made her jump. Im sure you came across them on Mull. Thanks for sharing these delightful photos. I hope you enjoyed Mull .......Alioban ❤

Really liked the pictures with two birds interacting with each other- both on land and water. You get a sense of their characters.

@marchumphreyphotography Ай бұрын

Thanks Stuart - they do seem to be constantly squabbling, so they're excellent subjects for that

@ianwilsonwildlifephotography Ай бұрын

That was just great Marc, some stunning images. I take it you were just using exposure compensation to balance the whites. 👍

Thank you Ian 😊 I tend to shoot with manual ISO these days, don't ask me why! I just prefer it haha. So I was just moving the ISO up and down as and when needed

Thanks for that Marc. Maybe something I should experiment with for that situation. 👍

Can't express how much I'm excited about this video. Not only have I stood in the exact place some years ago, noticing the guillemots breeding in the wall (while not taking half as beautiful images as you), I'm also going to spend three weeks on Mull from mid of July on, so your series couldn't come at a better moment!

@marchumphreyphotography Ай бұрын

Oh brilliant! You'll have lots of fun, what have you got planned?

@christianwetzel1862 Ай бұрын

@@marchumphreyphotography So far we have planned two boat trips, one to Lunga and Staffa with the 4h stay on Lunga, and another one to see dolphins and whales. Other than that we will explore the island according to weather and mood. :)

Hi Marc can l ask you, can you actually get a shutter sound out of the OM1?

@marchumphreyphotography Ай бұрын

Hi Neil, not with the electronic shutter - as far as I'm aware it's only with the mechanical shutter

@JoeMaranophotography Ай бұрын

What are you vlogging with Marc? Looks great!

@marchumphreyphotography Ай бұрын

I caved and got myself the DJI Pocket 3 - it's absolutely fantastic. I think the only drawback is it's not weatherproof at all - so not ideal for a lot of vlogging in the UK 😂

@JoeMaranophotography Ай бұрын

@marchumphreyphotography Yeah same with the 2! I really prefer the separation the 3 is able to achieve as I absolutely hate the look of the 2!!!

@JoeMaranophotography Ай бұрын

@marchumphreyphotography Great images as well BTW! My head just immediately had to comment about the look of the video lol

@marchumphreyphotography Ай бұрын

@@JoeMaranophotography hahaha thanks mate - no worries pal! Yeah the 3 has got a bigger sensor I think, so massively improves the subject separation and low-light capabilities.
