It Sometimes All Goes Great

This week I am in Death Valley leading a Phase One PODAS photo workshop. We have had non-stop days and incredible good luck with our photo excursions. Tonight was no exception. We were coming back from an afternoon of photography in Rhyolite and Beatty when a front started to move in. We quickly hustled our way over the mountain pass and set up at the top of valley. Our view encompassed Death Valley and as you can see from the photo the light and clouds were exceptional. I love it when a plan all comes together. Tonight was one of those nights that defined why we love taking photos so much.

Antarctica Storm

south of circle — Storm Coming - Antarctica

One of the greatest things about visits to Antarctica are the vistas. You can see forever it seems. This was a storm that was miles away. It just looked cool and was shot with a 400mm lens on a 5DII. Just a nice image.

Storm Bergs

Today I share a shot from my last trip to Antarctica. One thing you see while in Antarctica is vast seascapes. You can see storms moving across the horizon. Add to the storms a foreground of icebergs and you have a nice photograph. Shot with a 5dII with a 400mm lens. I have a lot of these kind if images and they are always nice to look at. If you ever go to Antarctica bring lots of data cards as you will take more photographs than you ever thought you could.

Ice, Seal, Storm

It’s pretty hard not to take a good photo when visiting Antarctica. I’m asked many time how you shoot in Antarctica and what to bring. I travel as light as possible. You won’t need a tripod. It’s bright enough you can shoot handheld all the time. Almost everything you shoot from bounces around. Zodiacs and the ship are always moving so handheld is a must. I travel with a 5dII and 16-35, 34-105, 100-400 lenses. In addition my main camera is a Phase One P65+ with 74-150mm, 28mm, 45mm, 210mm lenses. A bunch of batteries, CF cards and portable external hard drives for duplicate back-ups. I work entirely in CApture One to work my images and shoot RAW all the time.

This image was taken from the deck of the boat looking over an ice flow we were moving through. There was a storm off in the background which was just great looking. I was lucky when I spotted a seal on the ice flow and I just waited until we moved to a point where the shot looked good.
