Oh, are they pretty. Gentoos - I don't know them but I love their colours and patterns.
Super shot of the pair of them Karin, and it doesn't look cold at all. But 100 km/hr - that's windy!!
Well done

Wow, what a trip you did. I'm just reading a book I received for Christmass who is the story of a scientific mission made by Quebecers on the sail boat Sedna IV. They live nine months stuck in the ice to make experience on the Global warming. I did'nt know we can go there as tourist.

I'm happy to see that my camera is able to go so far, I have a K100D too. How do you like your Tamron lens, I can't decide what zoom I will buy next.

To learn about the Mission Antartica here is there web site.

What great work Karen. This is stunning and the POV is perfect. How lucky you are to live so close to the lovely Mts and have the opportunity to have gone to such a great place. I can only dream of the opportunity to capture such a beautiful and perfect image such as this.

Very nice shot indeed, Karin. My in-laws went to Antartica in December and I saw similar pictures by them when I was home for Christmas.

The composition here is lovely, sharpness and DOF spot on. Very nice shot, I am hugely envious!

Amazing shot! Those penguins don't seem bothered by the wind. They're really in their element.

You've made great use of the lens, perfect sharpness and excellent depth of field to provide context.

Great work

Hi Karin
That low point of view was a good idea and gave a beautiful angle, and placed you at the birds' level. Good natural colors and perfect lighting with an accurate depth of field. A very artistic photo

Hi Karin
Quite spectacular, it was well worth all the work to capture this image. Beautiful and sharp (just the way I like it) even with the difficult conditions. Good idea to put camera on shutter priority. Have a great year and happy photo hunting.

Lovely looking picture of this couple. Brrrrr Antarctica ?

Best regards from Jan

You had the chance to go in Antartica to take some pictures of them! Impressive! In the Biodome i had the opportunity too but it's other complications. Glasses are a lot reflective, many people but even that it was a thrill to try have something presentable from those wonderfull birds!

They have a good posture who even amuse me a little. Colors are nice!

Hello Karin,
The are really easy to like!
This is a fine double pose, and good DOF creates a fine feeling of depth in the frame...
Fine details in the pluamges, and a well balanced composition!
