Gentoo Penguin (Pygoscelis
papua). Several Gentoos on nests and interacting
made a nice scene at Neko Harbor on the Antarctic Peninsula in
December, 2003. This was a digital shot with a Canon EOS 10D
and an EF 70-200 mm F/2.8 L IS lens. See other shots below.

The Gentoos left and above are at Neko Harbor, Antarctica, in
January, 1998. At the left one adult gets a little too close
to the nest site of another bird. Above, a Gentoo adult keeps
an eye on its young. Both shots were with a Canon T-90 &
FD 100mm F4 Macro lens hand held on Fuji Velvia. All shots on
this page were made with available natural light. |

The Gentoo below left was photographed at Kinnes Cove, Joinville Island, Antarctica in January, 1999 with a Canon EOS 1N and EF 70-200mm F2.8L lens with fill flash from a tripod. The film was Fuji Velvia. This scenic spot lends itself very well to photography, especially on a bright day. The below shot was on Peterman Island, Antarctica, in January, 1996. This adult is guarding its young from strong wind and snowfall. The photograph was shot with a Canon T-90 & FD 400mm F4.5 lens on Fuji Sensia 100. The camera and lens were mounted on a Bogen tripod.

Below on the left is a shot with a Gentoo with two large chicks at Damoy Point, Antarctica, in January, 2003. Also there is a shot below right of a mating pair of Gentoos at Neko Harbor in December, 2003. Both these shots were taken with a Canon EOS 10D and EF 70-200 mm L IS lens and 1.4 X extender.
The above shot and the two immediately below were taken at Port Lockroy on the Antarctic Peninsula, in January, 2002, with a Canon EOS 1V and
EF 70-200 F/2.8 L lens on Fuji Velvia. The below shot with the chick on the nest is pretty graphic, but illustrates how the interior of the nest is kept
relatively clean by the methods of waste elimination of the youngsters.
