  • Story of the image

    I was on my long-awaited trip to the Falkland Islands. Before the trip, I envisioned getting a photo of a penguin still while the surf went soft around it. There was really only one place on the trip where I could try this. The penguins were entering the surf in the morning to fish for the day. I had many failed attempts, as most penguins entered the water rather rapidly, resulting in too much blur. Finally, this bird stopped to take a drink and I had the photo that I had dreamed about!
