Location
I took it on Boulder beach in Simon's town (south africa)Time
Sunset timeLighting
I used black and white (which is always good for B&W animals like pingouins or zebras but I wanted to keep the beautiful light of the golden hours. so we can see pastel tones behind the pinguin despite of B&WEquipment

These animals could inspire so much emotions : in a big group they are really funny, we can feel happiness. But a lonely pinguin, with his walking manner and gait should inspire sadness.Editing
yes I used Lightroom; first for B&W then to increase contrastIn my camera bag

My first advice is to take pictures during the golden hours. Remember that B&W animals are always very beautiful in B&W pictures And be patient. I stood 5h waiting for the right shot
