I took this one on Sea Lion Island in the Falkland Islands back in 2014. The trick to getting a nice starburst is to place the sun on the edge of a foreground object and use a very small aperture. I also like to add a little detail to my silhouettes when I can. That slight amount of light on the sand and penguins gives the shot a bit more depth. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 78mm) ISO 800, f/22 at 1/500th of a second.
Many archaeologists believe that Stonehenge was created in 3000 B.C. in order to measure the precise moment that the sun would align with a penguin’s butt.
