One more to take us into the holidays. This gentoo penguin colony was just outside the front door of the lodge on Sea Lion Island in the Falklands, making it quite convenient for early morning, sunrise shots. Most of the penguins were sitting on eggs that would eventually hatch a few weeks later. Hope everyone has a great holiday. I’ll be back Monday with new posts. Nikon D810 with Nikkor 17-35mm lens (at 17mm) ISO 400, f/22 at 1/60th of a second
great pic. ( do you still shoot in film? ) or do just digal these days,? Do you know of some that take pic. and still makes neg. from film. ? ) thanks me
Thanks Michael. I haven’t shot film in about ten years. Not sure who is still doing it. So much more convenient to shoot digitally, especially with wildlife when you’re out in the field with rapidly changing lighting conditions.
Simply amazing, Sean. The perfect scene for Christmas Eve morning. Thousands of gentoos awaiting the hatching of their chicks……is that what bsby penguins are called? The light is magnificent.
