Penguins Porpoising in Antarctica

Capturing these penguins porpoising in Antarctica as they rocket out of the water at speeds of up to 36 kmh (22 mph) was definitely a challenge.    There were many, many frames where I had nothing but water in the shot.

What you don’t see from this shot is that only a few minutes before there were a group of 30 or so Gentoo Penguins porpoising towards us.   The number had petered out a bit by the time they got to us, but it was still another incredible Antarctic moment!
