It was a beautiful sunny morning when I made this photograph of a New Zealand Fur Seal pup. I love how the golden early morning sun makes the seal pups fur glow. New Zealand fur seals, Arctocephalus forsteri, are found in colonies along the Wellington and Wairarapa coastlines. To View More >>

On our voyage to the Antarctic Peninsula, we weren't expecting to see Emperor Penguins because the closest colony was over 350km away. So we were so excited to find two Emperor Penguins, Aptenodytes forsteri , resting on an ice floe in Crystal Sound, Antarctica early one morning. Later that day, one of the penguins was still hanging out so our expedition leader made the call to lower the zodiacs so we could get an up-close encounter. This three image Emperor Penguin triptych is the result. This triptych received an acceptance award in the Nelson National Triptych Salon, an annual competition To View More >>

It was snowing on the day we visited the Gentoo Penguin colony at Cuverville Island in Antarctica. This made it a beautiful winter wonderland, and gave a lovely background for the penguins instead of rocky ground. The penguins were enjoying the snow, with some of the chicks even eating the snow flakes as they fell from the sky. My Gentoo Penguin Triptych received an acceptance award in the Nelson National Triptych competition, run by the Nelson Camera Club. Gentoo Penguins, Pygoscelis papua , are the third largest species of penguin (behind Emperor Penguins and King Penguins). Two of the images To View More >>
