Photographing Otters in Shetland 2010.
Yell
Mainland
Fetlar
The following sequence of images was photographed during a hectic 4 day trip to the Shetland Islands. I consider myself very lucky to have been guided by Brydon Thomason during the trip. We visited three separate islands and had encounters with several otters each day, many of which resulted in photographic opportunities. I can not emphasise enough the important
ance of local knowledge in getting in front of these elusive animals.

Nikon D3s
600mm F4 AFS
I used theD3s for the time on this trip.
The D3s is a fantastic piece of kit - ideally suited to this application. The unique facility is the option to push the ISO without loss of image quality.
This allows 'action stopping' shutter speed and flexibility to pick apperture required.
