King Penguins, Falkland Islands
Partly cloudy with 40-50mph winds made for exciting conditions. Lying on my belly with camera in hand, often in the surf zone getting wet was well worth the effort. I covered the penguin group from all angles with lenses from 70-500mm. Blowing sand is what caused the soft contrast, etc to the bottom of the image. Sand was everywhere, and I think I am making a pearl at this very moment-LOL This was my 5th visit to the islands and I am already looking forward to returning to this magical place in early 2012.
1Ds MIII, 70-200 f/4IS, Manual, f/11 @ 1/800, ISO 400
Post-production- CS5, NIK, Macbook Pro 15in
See you where there is light, or at the computer
