This photo, of a King Penguin colony, has been taken at Salisbury Plain, South Georgia Island. AntarcticaTime
I would have been in the morning.Lighting
Penguins are unafraid on land. They evolved without many land predators and are trusting to a fault.Equipment
Canon 5DMarkII Canon 70mm to 200mm / f2.8 No tripot No flashInspiration
King Penguins are especially curious, during the breeding season, they come ashore and nest in huge colonies called "rookeries". Some rookeries, like this one, include thousands of penguins and cover a very large area of South Georgia.Editing
Not much for this photo, just adjusted the light and colour.In my camera bag
