The Parting Shot for June 30, 2012
Photo I took of a penguin swimming. I love this shot because you can see his whole body which about 25% is above water and the rest below. It was a difficult shot because those buggers swim FAST! Hard to focus and snap while keeping the camera on the guy – or gal. The glass is very scratched as well, so this is the best shot I got out of the bunch.

Weird. I just never think of birds swimming — other than the ones that sit in the water and paddle with their feet. Duck-style.
Yeah. It was fun to watch them. They are fast creatures.
Great shot Michelle, and I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to get it. I love watching penguins swim in those nature shows. They are so perfectly adapted for life in the water! 😀
Yes, they have evolved quite specifically for their environment. Plus this was indoors and the lighting was low. I’m happy I got one shot that was this good.
A really cool shot that was very challenging to take, but you got it! I guess you had a productive day with your camera at that zoo… The way that penguins can swim through the water is impressive, but my favorite penguins are the ones that fly up in the sky, and fly away in huge flocks, when they migrate to the Amazon rain forest, once a year on April 1st. LOL 😀
Ha!
April 1st was a while back now, but I still chuckle every time I think of those flying penguins, courtesy of Motley News, by way of the BBC. Lol 🙂
You did very well Michelle..great shot
Thank you!!! 🙂
