I’ve mentioned before that it is fairly easy to photograph penguins. You always know where they’ll be because they don’t venture far from their colonies while not at sea. You simply wait for good light and then begin snapping the shutter. In this case, I had nice rim light at the end of the day while these gentoo penguins were heading home after an afternoon of fishing.

Wonderful image, Sean!
Thanks Sue. This was one of those files I didn’t notice the first few times I went through my Falklands trip but discovered the other day.
