We mainly saw Gentoo, Chinstrap and Adelie penguins. Of these, my favourites were the Adelie penguins - they seemed to just have more character than the others. The great thing about Gentoo penguins, though, was they would regularly stop and stand still, as if to say "I'm ready for my shot now". This was one such co-operative fellow.

Shot on Fuji Velvia ISO 50 using a Nikon F5, an AFS 300mm f4 lens and a TC14EII.
