Re: GESO - 600mm collection
That's seaweed. Patching material for the nest. But from looking at the colony on the boat trip, it seems the gannets are not very choosy about nest building material. They seem to have a fancy for orange and blue bits of nylon rope. I know there's a British lady who's done well for herself photographing seabirds trapped in manmade debris; plastic bags in particular. I was looking for that in particular, but couldn't see anything that would be harmful to the birds unless swallowed... Jostein 2008/7/6 Bob W [EMAIL PROTECTED]: You certainly know how to use that lens.

Re: GESO - 600mm collection
Thanks Jack. The lens performs very well indeed for this type of shots. It has the lowest resolution (as in MTF) of any lens I've ever used, but the contrast and rendering makes portrait shots like these come out so nicely.

Re: GESO - 600mm collection
thanks Bobb. Jostein 2008/7/6 Bob Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Jostien, That's a wonderful gallery and very pretty examples of the FA*600/4 images. You look well on your way to mastering the new, expensive lens! I especially liked the last photo - shags. The pair of birds skimming over the water are elegant and show movement in two views. The sea foam at the surface gives the water an added texture seldom seen and move movement. (I recall your prior work on water reflections/abstracts, perhaps it helped train your eye.) And the shadows of the pair on the surface are great. I hope John M. sees what you have done with the lens. They are wonderful photos. Regards, Bob S.
