"I took this shot on my recent trip to South Africa (business, not vacation, unfortunately). A few years ago someone told me that there are penguins in Africa, and I suspected this person must be 'geographically challenged' somehow confusing Africa with Antarctica! But sure enough, there is a huge penguin colony that lives on Boulders Beach, not far from Cape Town. They are called Jackass penguins because the sound they make is quite donkey-like. It was a bit hard to photograph them with an iPhone because they are pretty small birds and you have to be fairly close to get anything decent. This is where Oggl's ability to "zoom" after taking a shot comes handy. I actually knew exactly what combo I wanted to use (Wonder+Robusta) so I could have simply used classic Hipstamatic, but the zooming feature unique to Oggl is awesome for such situations. I was able to bring this penguin gang a little closer for all to see!"
