Everyone Loves Penguins

Busy Penguin

Today is the start of a great Sunday.  Going out shooting somewhere today.  This is the kind of day I just load my Jeep Cherokee with a tripod and cameras and start driving.  what will I find?  Where will I go?  Who knows.  As far as the picture for the day, well it is a penguin.  I came across this one when updating the new iPad.  Though it would be fun.  I have hundreds of penguin shots and I love them.  These little guys are always busy and seem to have a  mission.  This guy was off and running somewhere, totally focused on his mission.

Old Boat and Penguins

Whaling boat - Antarctica

On one of our landings in Antarctica we came across this old abandoned and falling apart boat and there were a few penguins next to it.  I shot quickly as the penguins were busy and had someplace to go.  I saw this image in my library the other day and decide i liked it but I should do something to give it an old look.  Using SnapSeed on the MAc I did some adjustments to get to this. Now the image kind of goes with the boat and the whole feel of being old and abandoned.

Penguin Love

Penguin Love

In my travels I have been fortunate enough to see wildlife at its best. What amazes me is how wildlife shows unbridled love. I was in Antarctica which is a life changing experience in itself where I got to see wildlife in all sorts of forms.  I watched whales and their calves together. The way a mother whale teaches its young. I saw Orcas that travel as a pack (family) take care of each other and their young. I have been in Alaska and have seen how grizzlies are with their young. And, as shown in this picture I have seen penguins express their love to each other. Love is pretty damn powerful!

Penguin Love

One of the benefits of traveling to Antarctica so many times is that you get a large library of Penguin Images.  My library is huge.   Penguins are very cool and very funny.  If you sit on the ground there they will come up to you and sit with you They are every curious and they are always busy.  I love watching these little guys as they are always on a mission or a honey do list.  But, they also find time to love.  Here’s a cute couple.

Don’t forget the next ten days I’ll be in Death Valley.  While I will try to post images here, you can follow the workshop activities at www.podas.info

Penguins . . .

Penguins on a mission - Antarctica

Penguins, boy do I have penguins. At one time I honestly could say I had the highest resolution penguin images in the world as I shot this image and many others with the only P65+ at the time to visit Antarctica. These are amazing creatures and over the year and my three visits to Antarctica I have amassed a large library of penguin images. This is a fun shot as three penguins march forward and seem to be on a mission. These are very busy creatures. They always have something to do and they seem focused on getting the task done.  This was shot with a P65+ and 75-150mm lens. The detail in this image is amazing as you can zoom in and see the crystals in the snow. I’ll publish more penguin images over time.
