Ah what we will do for a photograph! On this glorious morning at St. Andrew’s Bay in South Georgia Island, I saw thousands of king penguins march along the shore. But the real magic was when I noticed a reflection on the sand when the tide went out. We were very lucky and had a very calm morning, so I went and lay down right on the edge of the surf, trying to capture the sky, mountains, penguins, and reflection. As the tide would come in, I’d lie on my side and lift my body up so it was resting on one ankle and one elbow, keeping my cuffs out of the water. It was working…right until this group of penguins came close. Of course right then a larger wave came through, completely soaking me, but I kept shooting. I think this shot ended up being worth the cold bath!
