Sharing the Sun 6U8A8140

            I’m posting another photo of a king penguin couple at sunset for “World Penguin Day.” The photo was shot within minutes of another photo (“A Hug at Sunset”) that I posted earlier, but is actually of different couple. The photo was taken at a higher angle and just as the sun started to sink into the horizon. Many times, photographers will push the color temperature higher in order to warm the colors of sunset. The color temperature of this photo post processing is exactly the same as when it was taken. The only additional processing was an increase in exposure by 1/3 of a stop and spot removal. There was no need to augment even the saturation. It was, indeed, a spectacular sunset. 
My brief research suggests that world penguin day was originally designated in recognition of the first day that Adèlie Penguins could be seen migrating northward in the Antarctic during the early winter season. The migration is necessary to access food supplies for the long, cold Antarctic winters.
