The Black-browed Albatross (Thalassarche melanophris) is a widespread species of the southern oceans. The individuals in the top three photos, along with many others, visited our ship as we sailed near the Antarctic Peninsula in January, 1996. The shots were taken with a Canon T-90 & FD 400mm F/4.5 lens from a hand-held BushHawk shoulder mount on Fuji Sensia 100 film.

The shot below is another digital image with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200 F/2.8 L IS lens and 2X extender.
It was taken in January, 2004, in the Scotia Sea.

The next three shots were taken on West Point Island in the Falkland Islands in January, 2004 and show some nesting Black-browed Albatrosses. All these images were digital captures with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200 F/2.8 L IS lens and 1.4X extender.

There is a race of the Black-browed Albatross on Campbell Island, New Zealand, which has yellow eyes. Shown below are two shots of this race photographed about 100 miles south of Campbell Island in December, 2001. These shots were taken with a Canon EOS 3 and an EF 70-200 F/2.8 L lens and 2X extender on Fuji Provia film.
