Heike Odermatt - Magellanic Penguins

 

I like the different characters of the penguins. Magellanic penguins are mostly in groups on the beach. When one starts running, the others runs with him. Sometimes you see them run away for the water that comes ashore. This is one of those moments they run a little bit and come back again … and run away and come back again … until one has the courage to go into the water, then the others go with him.

    I love black and white subjects and when the weather is also right you can use overexposure very creatively like Heike here.
