    Default Black-browed Albatross take-off

    A Black-browed Albatross off Cape Town, South Africa.
    The sea, the (small) boat and the birds were all moving - I usually don't get seasick but this time I thought I was dying, if not falling overboard.

    I've been tempted to remove the OOF bird in the BG...

    Sea sick! I've been there man! Very good capture Ignacio. If you don't want to remove the OOF bird, you could set a clone tool to 30% or so and just tone it down with a few clicks! BTW, for sea sickness, I use the ear patch, I believe it is called scopolmine? works great 99% of the time.

    Awesome job getting a sharp image under the circumstances! I love the feet action and the background does a great job of giving you the feeling that you are truly out to sea. I would definitely remove the OOF bird. Great shot Ignacio!

    Some people eat ginger before and while on pelagic trips to prevent seasickness. From what I've heard, the patch makes you a bit drowsy.

    The patch seems to effects some differently than others. I have been using this for 20 years or so and it does make me feel "different" but drowsiness has not been a problem (better than the sickness!!!!). I am usually so keyed up looking for birds to shoot, I don't mind.
