The Nikon D200 camera was set to normal which allows for varied speed and aperture and was set on autofocus. A 3-second shutter closure interval was programmed using an external intervalometer. All photographs were recorded on the cameras internal memory card and downloaded after the flight was over.&rft.creator=SOUTHWELL, COLIN &rft.creator=EMMERSON, LOUISE &rft.creator=NEWBERY, KYM &rft.date=2013&rft.coverage=northlimit=-66.0; southlimit=-67.0; westlimit=108.0; eastLimit=111.0; projection=WGS84&rft.coverage=northlimit=-66.0; southlimit=-67.0; westlimit=108.0; eastLimit=111.0; projection=WGS84&rft_rights=This data set conforms to the CCBY Attribution License (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/).

Brief description

Aerial photographs were taken at 3 islands in the Cronk group and 3 islands in the Frazier group of the Windmill islands where occupancy surveys in 2010-11 found breeding Adelie penguin populations. The photographs were taken to estimate the size of breeding Adelie penguin populations. Photographs of the Cronk Island group were taken on the 2 January 2011. One flight was made along a northeast-southwest direction across the three main islands, Hollin, Midgley and Beall (see below). The flight started at 02:10:23 UTC and finished at 03:40:45 UTC. The SkyTraders crew were the flight and camera operators. The daily weather observations from Casey Station for 2 January 2011 were 14.0 hour of sunlight, winds from the North at 6-13 knots and 2/8 cloud cover. Photographs of the Frazier Island group were taken on the 23 January 2011.
