Yellow-Eyed Penguin
Of all the bird photos that I have taken, this is one of my favourites. It's a photo that I made in the late 80's while visiting some islands in the Subantarctic. Shortly after taking this picture I was in a rubber boat, that with the force of the waves and the wind was tipped over. I managed to salvage the film, and with great luck, it was still, having been protected by the enclosing cassette, in good condition. The camera was finished.
This image has just been published in the Australian magazine, Photofile. Issue 79, Summer 2007.
