Albatross!

[karohemd]

I just shot my first Albatross, a black browed one to be precise. It was a bit far away so the picture isn't very clear but I'm told there will be loads more when we're crossing the Drake Passage.
I also shot loads of (Giant Southern) Petrels (who are named after St. Peter as they walk/run over the water when they take off) and they came a lot closer to the ship as they sailed effortlessly in the winds coming off the stern of the ship.

But yay, Albatross! *smug*

They'll probably make you hang your camera around your neck in penance for the rest of the trip, now.

And that would be different from what I look now how? Since missing the fur seals two evenings ago I don't go anywhere without my camera... ;oP

I wish you'd say "took a picture of" and not "shot" you know...

If you had pay as much for this connection as I do you'd use as few words as possible, too. :o)

I have this image of you, wearing a monocle, still-smoking rifle in one hand, camera in the other, going "dashed fine shot! bagged another one, what oh!" now....
