    Very nice shots Andy, I would guess that ISO 1600 should be no problem for your 1D IV to get the shutter speed you need. Unless you got away with that shutter speed.

    ISO 1600 would have been tolerable for the gannets on their nests, but no use for shots of them landing or taking off, which needs 1/1000s or faster. This would have pushed me to use ISO 5000, which is far from ideal. I was under-exposing by 1.3 stops already, with some fill light added in Lightroom.

    The trip was really just to scout out the site ready for a return visit when the chicks arrive. I will be back there when we get some clear blue sky and bright sunlight (no idea which year that might be).
