Many thanks Kim. I wanted to mention in the post that the one lesson that I never get right is to carefully review all camera settings before heading into the field on the first day of a trip. Those should include AF Area Selection Mode, the selected AF point, the shooting mode, the ISO, and the WB…. I wound up severely over-exposing almost two dozen images of groups of gentoos and their reflections… All because I did not realize that I had had a high ISO set and did not realize that I was in Av mode rather than manual…. A deadly combo even when you are shooting RAW. artie

Love the light and the gentoo’s forward movement captured by the water moving over its foot and dripping from its body. Thanks for sharing it!
