Shooter's Comments:

Tuesday's press conference on the upcoming Winterval, downtown Fort Wayne January 28, was all about penguins. Several staff members of the Park and Recreation department wore penguin hats. Jim Houser, of Sub-Zero Ice Sculptures, put the finishing touches on an ice penguin.

I manually set the aperture and shutter speed because otherwise the dark background would have made for an overexposed ice sculpture and all the detail in the carving would have been lost.
