On penguins
It's been a while coming, but I am pleased to announce that some of my favourite penguin photographs from my trip to the Falkland Islands are now available for sale. I've created a new Photobox gallery, Quantum Penguin with a selection of images for sale. As time goes by I'll add a few more. In the meantime here are a couple of my personal favourite shots.
I loved the poise, the light and the reflections in this image of a group of gentoos as they waddled down to the sea.
King penguins are both colourful and graceful. Once again I like the shape and the colours in this image.
If you like these images then head over to Quantum Penguin and take a look at the rest!

Where are all the penguins?
January is almost gone and, sadly, I have not updated my website after my Falklands trip. It's not that there aren't any pictures to go up! Actually there are so many I'm still working through them. Add in the fact that I have had a nasty virus and the result is no website update. At least my disappointment has faded. There are plenty of shots I am extremely happy with.
Since returning I have hardly even picked up my camera. The other day I spotted a pair of male teal on a local pond in beautiful lighting. It would have made a wonderful image. But lack of energy meant my camera had stayed at home and I had to content myself with just watching them through binoculars...

On the benefits of slowing down
Well, I'm back from the Falkland Islands. The wildlife there is so prolific and tame that I excitedly shot well over 4,000 photographs. After an initial scan through I must confess to be slightly disappointed. There are several good shots in there that I am very happy with - but there are vast numbers which are just not quite good enough. I can't help wondering if I'd taken less photos, but spent a little longer setting them up whether I'd have more shots that I'm happy with. Anyway. Live and learn!
In the meantime here are a couple of highlights. Maybe not the best shots - but the two which meant the most at the time.
This was the first king penguin I saw. It turned up, unexpectedly, on Sealion Island on my second morning there. There is no king penguin colony on Sealion, so this one was probably a bit lost.
Chinstrap Penguins don't breed on the Falklands and are only rarely seen there. From the outset I had declared my intent to see one, but to be honest I wasn't really expecting to. I came across this Chinstrap penguin on Volunteer Beach whilst I was attempting to photograph a group of king penguins taking to the water. At first I thought it was a magellanic chick - but as it walked towards me I realised it was a chinstrap. I was so excited I'm amazed I managed to hold the camera steady...
