Black-browed Albatross

[Ákos Lumnitzer]

Another from my pelagic outing off Wollongong 2 years ago.
I tracked this (young?) Black-browed Albatross and snapped a few frames.

Full frame file with minimal PP during conversion.

Hi Akos, you have nailed the exposure on both the blacks and whites on this fellow, and I quite like the flight pose, even though he seems to be 'gliding'.Good DOF across the wingspan, and boy it must be lonely out there looking down in that vast ocean.

Great position in the frame and Exposure spot on as Stu says.
Good stuff

Great looking shot Akos. I like the pose, details, exposure and the good look at the black brow. Not easy shooting from a boat. Well done

[William Dickson]

Great shot Akos. Brilliant control of the black and whites. Lovely capture, well done.

Excellent work from a rocking boat Akos,already mentioned the dark and the white on the bird look spot on. Think I might have seen these over the rough Oceans at the bottom end of Australia

Nice image, Akos. Not having seen Albatross it is a treat, wings definitely designed for gliding and soaring. Thank you for sharing.

[Lorant Voros]

Hats off for this one. Spot on exposure, very nice IQ. Love the details and the wing almost touching the water. Awesome shot!

Excellent flight shot. Superb HA. Rest everything is perfect.
Love the silky wings.
