Here’s a close up look at the feet of the five different penguins that I photographed in the Falklands. Up top is the gentoo penguin, followed by the rockhopper, the king, the Magellanic and finally the macaroni. Gentoo — Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 500, f/4 at 1/2000th of a second
Rockhopper — Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/500th of a second
King — Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 300) ISO 800, f/8 at 1/100th of a second
Magellanic — Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 1600, f/4 at 1/60th of a second
Macaroni — Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 380mm) ISO 800, f/8 at 1/1000th of a second
Up this close. The feathers really do look like fur. Those are all some strong looking feet. They waddle around on them but do they ever raise a foot to fight?
I never signed up to comment on any site Sean. But these photos of penguin feet are absolutely awesome! On 500 PX.com I have not seen photos like this. To me you have outdone yourself!

Hey Michael, there are 17 different species in the world.
All the colors of football —- Boots each speaking of their favorite team —- And some fancy pedicure.
Personally speaking, the black slippers really do it for me. 🙂
Agreed.

Hey Mom, I never saw them fight with their feet but they did quite a bit of fighting with their beaks. Especially the rockhoppers.
When looking at an animal as a whole, don’t forget it’s parts! These are great.
I wouldn’t think to take a picture of their feet, but they are very interesting to look at. Those are some long toenails!
AWESOME!!!!!
I like the orange feet!
