As I mentioned in my previous post - DAY 1 Antarctic Diaries M/V Island Sky ~ https://steemit.com/blog/@thomasjmitchell/day-1-antarctic-diaries-m-v-island-sky - I spent the day scanning the Drake Passage for whales, presenting a lecture on “Whales of the Southern Ocean” & doing my best to take at least one beautiful shot of an Albatross gliding over the surface effortlessly.

What a beautiful bird and photo! Good job! Bring us more nature photography, I love wildlife!
Elegance in flight. This photo reminds me of a kids animated movie, "The Rescuers Down Under". In the movie an albatross was used as an intercontinental jet liner. I suppose it was chosen for this part because it can fly for such long distances. LOL!
love that movie!!!
That's quite the catch, love seeing your photography on here! Great work :D!
thanks mate!
Wow I would love to see an Albatross too!
It is simply captivating!!
Beautiful creature! How do you display the image full screen? :)
you should just click on the image and it should open up to its full size.
I know. How do you code that? Or did you just paste the hyperlink?
you put [ ] around the photo link and then repaste the code inside the ( ) afterwards and it should work as a link you can click on. hope this makes sense...
OK I sussed it, thank you for the help :)

hi @thomasjmitchell I cannot get it to work. Could you post an example of the code?
Thank you. I will try that. It really adds to you post and I am a photographer :)
Awsome
That is very cool.
This is an amazing shot, @thomasjmitchell! Glad you had your camera ready for this moment. 😃 I do hope you have good weather all the way while on the ocean! Also, keep us posted about your trip! I'm always curious what sailing on the Antarctic and the Drake Passage is like.
very interesting post, I see the program where people talk about this place. It is a beautiful and mysterious place at the same time. It attracts the attention of scientists and tourists and divers. There is a big blue hole in one of the most beautiful places on earth. is beautiful, photography life is very nice ..
Great shot
