New Zealand’s Fiordland has some wonderful locations. I took
a boat excursion to Doubtful Sound. It was a day of heavy rain but that did not
seem to upset a small group of Yellow Eyed Penguins that I was able to
photograph with a 400mm lens from the boat.
I’m planning to make a series of studies from the photographs
to compose a painting. This is a page I did yesterday.

On this second page I thought for a moment I had a ready-made composition because of the way the sketches
were distributed quite accidentally.
But then the attitudes of the birds were so
similar I began to think that they were taken from frames of the same bird.
Does that matter? I don’t think it does really the same bird preening strikes quite
a different attitude to when it is at rest. So I’ll look further at my reference
material to see what other poses I’ve collected.
