Rockhopper penguins can be quite boisterous as a group. This individual, however, was taking it to another level. Photographed on Saunders Island in the Falkland Islands. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 200, f/4 at 1/1600th of a second.
What’s the name of this penguin’s band? The Rocking Hoppers? License to Krill? The Sub-Antarctic Project? I ask because I’d love to go to their next show.
Photographing penguins is such a gratifying experience because once you get there (not an easy task), you always know where they’ll be — back and forth to the colony all day. You can sit and wait for the light and the moments.

Dances like your brother in law
No doubt about that.
Dance like no one’s watching!

Definitely License to Krill.
Ummm this is insane. I’m obsessed.
I have a whole series on this guy. Perhaps it’s time for one of my GIFS.
I’d love to see him in action <3
It was dancing to beat the band & so glad you brought your camera, Sean!

Love to find me some joy like that in these times!
