Just back from a great trip to the Falklands and need to sleep so I’ll make this quick. I photographed five different species of penguin as well as sea lions, seals, orcas and many other birds over the past two weeks. This is the gentoo penguin. I like to think of these guys as the classic penguins. They also happen to be the most acrobatic in the water and are known for their “porpoising” and riding waves. This guy is about to catch a nice one on his way back in to shore after an afternoon of fishing. Nikon D800 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 400mm) ISO 800, f/5.6 at 1/3200th of a second
Baby, I have never posted on your blog before but after having you gone for 17days, it feels like the right thing to do.
This photo just makes me happy – I can remember riding waves like this as a child (not as gracefully, of course).
And to everyone of my husband’s followers: there are many visual treats on the way as a result of Sean’s trip to the Falklands. Enjoy the photos to come – they are truly amazing! It is so good to have you back, my love. xo
Good to have you back safe and sound Sean :o)) .. looking forward to seeing your adventuress pics. Super shot, can almost see a hunting Orca in the wave LOL … great action shot
