[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Gentoos are larger and heavier than Chinstrap and Adelie penguins and more shy and somewhat more difficult to approach. They are recognized by the white patch over their eyes and the bright coral bill.
Those breeding South of the 60th parallel are relatively smaller with shorter, stubby flippers, feet and bills. Gentoos breeding North of this area are generally larger, weighing as much as 6 to 8 Kg or more.

This adolescent Gentoo is almost ready to swim for his own food. The gray fluff that characterizes its childhood is almost all gone.

PP was cropping, yellow filter 20%, lighting effect - spotlight and the TL routine.

Workshop in B&W available

------

Os pingunins gentoos são maiores e mais pesados que os Chinstrap e os Adelie e de alguma forma mais timidos e dificeis de se aproximar. Eles podem ser facilmente reconhecidos pela mancha branca sobre os olhos e o bico cor de laranja.
Aqueles que se reproduzem abaixo do paralelo 60, são um pouco menores do que seus parentes mais ao norte e também tem asas (nadadeiras), pés e bicos mais fortes (talvez por causa das maiores adversidades do tempo). Os primos mais ao norte pesam de 6 a 8 kilos, ou mais!

Este filhote adolescente esta quase pronto para ir nadar pela sua própria comida, pois já perdeu quase toda a penugem que recobria seu corpo para mante-lo aquecido até o final do verão. Note que as penas já estão bem formadas e ele já tem um peso consideravel, sendo quase do tamanho da mãe.

Tem workshop em P&B

Abraço a todos,
Wellington
