back in the internet cafe again, thought i'd post something nice.
here's a galapagos penguin, the only penguins to be found in the northern hemisphere, although amongst the population, most of them are just below the equator, with only a few on the northern coast of isobela making it north of the line.
they would make more daring subjects taken underwater as once on land they tend to do little more than sleep. whilst i saw a few whilst diving, they were too far to get good shots.
comments welcome. i was using a nikkor 35-105 at the 105 end, and a drop of flash to brind a dull day to its best, to get this whilst in a RIB with a very good and patient RIB driver keeping me in the right position.
