Hello everyone!

As some of you might of seen a post or two of mine, I'm looking for all sorts of advice for a novice with a T1i for a trip to Antarctica I'm going on.

I just realized that besides penguins (which will probably be a bit easier to take photos of) that I read somewhere that there will be all sorts of birds following the ship. Like possibly an albatross or birds I probably am unable to identify until someone tells me what they are. :)

Anyways, in this scenario, I would be on a boat, which will probably be in motion to some degree and I would want to take photos of the birds overhead saying hello to us.

I tried to take some photos of pigeons in flight the other day but it was a disaster, either blurry or all you see is a wing or they are on the ground!

This is not easy, but if any of you have suggestions on what I would need to do, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. :)

And then practise. If you have gulls anywhere nearby, especially the ones that get fed by people, then they make great models.
