TITLE: Cliff Diving Chin-Strap Penguins

It was rough blustery day off the coast of the very remote and rugged Zavodovski Island part of the South Sandwhich Islands. Between the snow, sleet and rough seas we struggled to get our zodiac up close to the cliffs to photograph the waves of cliff diving Chinstrap Penguins. As waves slashed over the sides of our boat and as we bounced about I pushed my shutter speed up to 1/3,200 of a second to try and freeze the action.
