Penguin

[ClarkKent]

Got to go to the zoo today with SpaceNut, although didn't really come home with much. But I did get a chance to photograph some penguins. Thought I would share one with ya'll. Thanks for looking!

I'd call that a good day even if that is the only decent shot of the day!
Great pose and I love the background mountains - out of interest were they real or part of a background (they look a little flat and "artificial" to me - but the selective brightness of the shot helps to hide that effect and focus attention on the posing penguin

Indeed a painted background. These were taken though some glass that had the beginning stages of condensation at the zoo exhibit. Thanks

Thanks everyone! And there was glass that I was shooting through which was a huge obstacle since it was so fogged up! My set up was that I was using my eos 1D Mark II, mounted to my 70-300 kit lens, ISO around 1250 manual exposure around f 7.1 or so. Handheld.
