One is a South Georgia shag in flight at Shag's Rock from our first day on South Georgia. The skies were cloudy, making for some good lighting.
One photo is a brown "okum boy" or a less than year old King penguin at St. Andrew's Bay. This is a photo of the penguin in front of one of the mountains at that site - a "pose" we had learned during our photo workshop with Tom Murphy.
Then we have a picture of an elephant seal flipping sand up onto his body. It's not clear whether he does that to stay warm or to cool off, but in any event, it was cool the way we caught the sand "in flight."
Finally, we have attached a photo of a chinstrap penguin (which should be obvious from the white head and the black line going under his chin). We haven't been to the big chinstrap colonies yet; those are on the Antarctic peninsula. But there is a colony near where this was taken, so we suspect he was "visiting" the site we were at.
Enjoy!
GREAT photos! And I think that 5900 is a LOT of photos btw!
