Here’s another in my gentoo sunburst series that I took on Sea Lion Island in the Falklands. These gentoo penguins had just come in from their afternoon swim and were taking a break at the top of the beach just as the sun was setting. I was able to get low to record the sun as a starburst on the horizon. I dialed in enough exposure compensation so that there was some detail in the penguins and it wasn’t a complete silhouette. A tiny aperture helped with the sunburst effect. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens at 220mm, f/32 at 1/400th of a second
