WIldlife photography is always an uncertain thing, sometimes needing luck to go with skill and preperation. One morning on St. Andrew's Bay in South Georgia Island, I thought I was wasting my effots. We had a clear morning and were able to get to shore for an early sunrise, and I was hoping to get penguins backlit emerging from the water. I picked a spot where I saw them coming out, lay down on the beach, and waited. And waited. I think they could see me, so they were avoiding that spot. As the sun rose higher and higher, I kept wondering if I was wasting the golden light, and right as I was about to give up, a massive group of penguins came out of the water right in front of me, giving me the shot I wanted with the starburst, shadows, and reflections. My bad luck had completely changed!
