Sun going down as we arrive at Dyrhólaeyjarviti lighthouse to the west of Vik
Looking west from Dyrhólaey lighthouse, near Vik, southern coastal Iceland. Nikon D800e

We are up here to look for puffins, which are at their nests in the morning or evening
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808203
There is a subtle mist coming off the water, best seen in the distance
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808204
Dyrhólaeyjarviti, Dyrhólaey lighthouse. Quite a substantial structure.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808205
Puffins are actually rather small birds. Smaller than the stuffed toys in the gift shops!

Puffin couple approaching their burrow
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808207
I believe it is the male standing watch. Males are slightly larger and have a slightly larger beak.

Mist rising from the sea in the distance.
Looking west from Dyrhólaey lighthouse, near Vik, southern coastal Iceland. 500mm (300mm f/2.8 VR + TC17II) Nikon D800e on monopod

Puffin standing proud, almost looks like he's wearing a tuxedo
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808210
Now we can see the tails of his tuxedo
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808211
The puffin march.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808213
This is a pretty classic look I kept getting from the puffins...
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808214
Puffin pining for the fjords.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808215
There's that look again.

Waiting for another puffin?

Pensive puffin settling down to wait.

Time to leave?
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808221
A trio of puffins, with lots of head swivelling.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808222
Check those blind spots!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808223
Nothing to report!
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808224
Getting a wing stretch in before going fishing.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808225
They look so serious
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808226
Everybody checks their wings before takeoff

https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808227
Do you want to check your wings?
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808228
They keep up their surveillance.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808229
The puffin on the right is going to go for a little walk.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808230
He needs to get down from this giant hill.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808231
He chooses to do a little hop.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808232
and now warms up the wings
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808233
Stretching them out as well.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808234
He is watched from the puffins back at the top of the mound.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808235
Wings warming up.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808236
Speculation on whether the grass is greener down there.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808237
Overlapping puffins

This is a full frame image of the scene. The previous are cropped about 50%. DX body would be ok!

The sun is getting very low and everything is tinted gold

https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808241
The sun has dropped behind the mountains to the west. Light levels dropping, ISO up to 1600.

Sun peeking out from behind the mountains
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808243
Details of the mountains and plains barely visible against the golden sky
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808244
Reflections of the sky off of streams on the coastal plains.

Small islands south of Dyrhólaey lighthouse. They probably have names, but I can't find them.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808246
Reynisdrangar after sunset. 1/40th of a second, 500mm! Even with a monopod that's ambitious.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808247
Back at the car, the setting sun is lighting up the cloudes
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808248
This is the Iceland salute! Camera up, looking into the distance.
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808249
Had to stop on the road down the hill, the sunset was so beautiful
https://willischung.slickpic.com/albums/2016AprIcelandDay13DyrhlaeyjarvitiPuffinsAndSunset/photo/#12808250
