Fantastic value for money, a great day out.
Anstruther Pleasure Cruises-Boat Day Tours的点评
点评:My wife and I travelled on The May Princess on July 14th. We were really lucky with the Puffins in that they were very busy, even by normal standards. The crew was very helpful, and I can't give them enough praise. (Think TinTin, think if Cap'n Haddock were crossed with the Thompson and Thomson) :) The journey back from the Isle included a slow cruise along the cliffs where various points of interest were explained, such as the local superstition regarding "The Bishop".
We had a full 2.5 hours on the island; there are ample resources to help you navigate the island to get the most out of your visit. The wardens on the island are also helpful in this regard. The atmosphere was very relaxed whether you were using a phone or a professional-level camera.
My "shopping list" really had only one picture on it, a puffin with sand eels. I got the shot, a shot made even better by a professional Photographer called Stephen. Even though I was not in his group, he directed me to the spot where he was standing so I could get the best angle. I took many, many pictures, most of which were duff; a few that were not bad; however, the "good" pictures were so good I dumped shots that may have previously kept. I have added a particular picture below for a reason; it was a throwaway shot, a context picture taken on the way back to the boat. I hope the detail shows up,do not look at the hundreds of birds in the sky, enlarge the pic and look at all the little white dots on the ground.
We will go back, and we will go on the May Princess.
翻译:我和妻子于7月14日乘坐了“五月公主号”。我们真的很幸运,因为那天海鹦的数量多得惊人,即便以正常标准来看也是如此。船员们极其热心助人,实在难以用言语表达对他们的感激之情。(想象一下丁丁历险记中的场景,再想象一下哈达克船长与汤普森兄弟结合后的模样吧) :) 从岛上返回的途中,船只沿着峭壁缓缓航行,船员还向我们介绍了沿途的各种名胜,比如当地关于“主教”的传说。
我们度过了充实而愉快的两天。在岛上待了5个小时;岛上有大量资源可帮助你熟悉环境,从而充分享受这次旅行。岛上的管理员们在此方面也乐于提供帮助。无论你是在使用手机还是专业级相机,那里的氛围都十分轻松惬意。
我的“拍摄清单”上其实只列了一张照片——一只正吃着沙鳗的海鹦。我成功拍到了这张照片,而一位名叫斯蒂芬的专业摄影师还帮我把照片拍得更加完美。尽管我并不在他的团队中。他指给我看他所站的位置,好让我能找到最佳拍摄角度。我拍了非常多照片,不过大部分都拍砸了;只有少数几张还算不错。然而,那些“好照片”实在太出色了,以至于我干脆舍弃了之前可能还会保留的其他照片。我在下面特意附上了一张照片,原因是这张原本只是张随手拍的、在返回船上途中拍摄的背景照罢了。希望照片中的细节能清晰可见——不过请千万别去留意天空中成百上千只鸟哦。放大图片,看看地面上那些小白点。
我们会回去的,然后乘上五月公主号。
