Anyone who’s followed my photography for any length of time will have detected that I am often drawn to graphic shapes and lines and perhaps fairly formal compositions. Today I go back into my archives to rediscover a series of images I captured whilst visiting the Falkland Islands a few years back. Aging paintwork, textures, a sense of neglect….
Following on from yesterday’s post, another shot from the Falkland Islands. Perhaps this has the makings of an ongoing theme …. “bones on textured backgrounds” 🙂 This time a skull (I should think from a sheep) on a rusting sheet of iron.
Gentoos are quite a successful species. Whereas the range for some penguin species has shrunk in recent years, the range for Gentoos has actually extended with them displacing other species in some locations.
when photographing a penguin colony, it’s worth looking around the edges of the group to try and isolate an individual.
Black-browed albatross nest on several of the Falkland Islands. By February most of the chicks are well developed, some with their adult plumage starting to show through.
A recent visit to the Falkland Islands revealed that penguins can fly, or at least some penguins can jump very well!
Shags are quite the aerialists! Splaying their wings and feet to increase wind resistance and slow down for landing within the colony.
