The Story Behind the Shot

I'll be honest with y'all – I almost missed this whole meeting. Day three on Iceland's Ring Road, running behind, dodging rain. It's Iceland, so rain happens a lot. I was trying to check another spot off my list before heading to my "real" puffin spot on the eastern coast.

But sometimes the best adventures find you when you're not looking. I ran back to my rental Jeep in the rain and swapped my 24-70mm for my 100-400mm lens. Then I found myself face-to-face with this adorable character. While other tourists snapped phone pics, this little guy stepped out from the plants and looked straight at me with the most puzzled expression.

There's something magical about wildlife looking directly into your lens. It's like they're trying to figure you out too. This rainy day near Vík gave me some of my favorite shots from my whole Iceland adventure and reminded me why protecting coastal homes matters for these amazing seabirds.
