Shy Albatross

[Rob Drummond]

Probably the most common of the five albatross species seen on our recent pelagic.

Beautiful. Love the angles on this one. Once again Rob you are tempting this land lover to pull up anchor, take some sea sickness meds and head out into the big blue.

Wow this bird looks like a Boeing 777, excellent pose and sharpness, colors are accurate too. TFS

This a beauty, sharp and well exposed. Excellent detail on underwing. Lovely banded sky.

I like the pose, sharpness, eye contact and BG. I would try to lighten the eye area and the upper wing.

[Stu Bowie]

How is that wingspan - no wonder these guys can fly across the oceans. Great angle, and you did well with the exposure. I like the hint of the clouds in the BG too.

Rob - I'll see how decent my shots of White-capped from a pelagic yesterday in NZ are. Question - some Australian pelagic gurus claim to be able to tell White-capped from Shy in the field. Any idea how? (For those who don't know, these were formerly recognised just as different populations of the same species.)

Fantastic photography, by the way!
