Behind The Lens

Location

I had just bought my first DSLR for this trip to Antarctica. Hardly knew what I was doing, but so touched by this mother Gentoo and her chicks that I watched them for a long time and finally saw the perfect moment.

Time

Daylight is almost the entire day in Antarctica in summer

Lighting

Fortunately the day was overcast which gave a moody feeling to the scene

Equipment

Nikon D90, 70-300 lens handheld

Inspiration

There were people and penguins everywhere, but this one penguin and her chicks were isolated on top of this rock. It was so touching to watch them and the gray sea behind gave the perfect backdrop

Editing

Minimal work in Lightroom

In my camera bag

Now have advanced to Nikon D500, D750 with 80-400 and150-600 lens

Feedback

Antarctica is the last true wild place, every moment is a picture. It has something for everyone, beautiful landscapes and wonderful wildlife
