were such that frequent tearing down & setting up equipment was necessary to prevent its damage by corrosion. Similar conditions existed when on a course heading into the waves where salt water & spray are constantly being driven across the vantage point by high winds. When on courses of this nature photography was first attempted for this season. As much of the equipment as possible was covered with black photographic tape or plastic to protect it from the normal salt air. All equipment was cleaned after each period of use and returned in as good condition as when rented. Prolonged exposure (months) would surely necessitate frequent cleaning to keep the camera in proper working order. November was found to be a month low for the presence of birds and many hours passed before one would present itself close enough to be recorded. It is suggested that further photographic attempts at sea be carried out in months when the seas are reasonably calm and the bird population high -- such as April, May, June & July. With these conditions plus the recommend lenses the amount of footage could easily be quadrupled
