  • Walrus spend a lot of their day lying around, sleeping.  Walrus action is when they lift their head up.  On a late winter trip to the Arctic, I spent hours lying in the snow on Moffen Island, just off of Spitsbergen, Svalbard.  I was hoping for a break in the clouds to get the walrus backlit, but the dreary gray sky didn't look like it would cooperate.  It started snowing, and the clouds parted just long enough for me to take this one frame of walrus acting like they normally do--sleeping--and then it went back to being gray.

  • The first day of midnight sun in Longyearbyen, Svalbard is a special time, as the sun stays low to the horizon for hours and makes the snow-covered world golden.  This Svalbard Ptarmigan in white winter plumage sat in melting snow, curiously looking at this weird thing lying on the ground with a big white lens.  After a lot of inching, I was able to position myself so that the ptarmigan was backlit in this glowing world.

  • 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!
