First snow zoomies…!

Alt...A young German Shepherd filmed from the point of view of the person walking her. She snuffles about in the snow and then runs off until she hits the length of the lead, pulling the camera. She turns around and does it again.

    This is a colour wildlife photo in landscape format of an adult Chinstrap Penguin (Pygoscelis antarcticus) waddling on a pack of snow down to the sea. Graham Land, Antarctica (2024).

To the right of centre is our chinstrap penguin and with the bed of well trodden (by penguins) snow covering the entire photo. The penguin is viewed obliquely with the front and right side in view, the camera about half a metre above the snow and two metre from the bird (actually much further but using a long lens and a cropped image). The bird is filling three-quarters of the height of the photo, half the width and is walking (waddling) from right to left and towards the camera. Our penguin has a black back extending upwards to form a cap on top of the head finishing over the eyes and at the top of the short, black beak. A thin black line runs from the back of the neck, under the eyes and beak and up the far side: hence the name. It's wings (flippers) are spread outwards to aid balance. The wings have a thin black line stretching along the leading edges while the undersides are white. The birds front is all white though with a few small orange 'penguin poo' stains scattered around, personal hygiene isn't a penguin thing. The two large pink feet are half buried in the deep snow.

        This is a colour wildlife photo in landscape format of a Gentoo Penguin, racing away with a small rock in its beak, having just stolen it from another penguin's nest (they use small rocks, stones or pebbles as a nesting material). Booth Island, Antarctica (2024).

In the foreground is a large, smooth and sloping rock, stained a medium red or brown, that rises up from the lower left corner, extends over to the right margin and rises upwards to a little less than the quarter up level. In the centre of the photo is our thieving Gentoo Penguin hurrying from left to right. The penguin is viewed obliquely with right side and back in view, filling most the height of the photo and view from a few metres away and at the same level as the bird. In fact the photo was taken from five or more metres away, but with a long lens so the photo appears to be shot much closer. In the bird's beak is a small dark and sharp rock, probably no more than a few cm across. The sides of the bird's beak are bright orange with the top and bottom being black. The bird's back is black, while the front is white including a white stripe that extends from one eye, over the top of the head and then down to the other eye. The two wing or flippers are extended outwards for balance. At the base of the back is an fan shaped arrangement of short, dark tail feathers that extend at right angles (parallel to the ground). Below are two large bright orange feet. In the background, a few metres away, is a further large and smooth rock that slopes gently from the upper right corner down towards the lower left corner. Between the front and rear rocks is a small gully with one adult Gentoo and two chicks, all facing to the left and viewed in profile. On the edge of the far rock is a line of snow and ice. The distant background is all a medium grey, devoid of any detail.
