Starry Iceberg

\

Starry Nighy
Starry Night

 

A little fun with Antarctica images.  With all the isolation that we are taking part in as a world, I have been playing a lot with images and third party programs.  One program that has my interest right now is Skylum – Luminar.   There are all sorts of cool things this program does and one of them si AI Sky Replacement.  So, I decided to try and put a starry image to replace the sky and this is what I came up with.  It seems, kind of like cheating but it is fun and the images are pretty cool.   Whether you are a fan of this or not it is fun to see what technology allows us to do.

Dramatic Icebergs

Dramatic Iceberg.  One thing I like to do is play with my iceberg images and find new ways to create a different view of an iceberg.  I will be doing an article on photoPXL.com where I show this iceberg in more than a dozen different ways.  Look for that soon.  These giant icebergs always give me new ways of seeing.  These are unique images.  Unlike many landscape photos these photos are dynamic.  Within a few days, this iceberg will take on a whole different look.  It may break apart and it may flip over.  Either way, these icebergs define what Antarctica is all about –  A dynamic Landscape.

Big Blue

Planaeu Bay, Antarctica, the iceberg graveyard.  This is a great place to visit and one place that I have done some of my best iceberg photos.  This bay is full of grounded icebergs and once they get grounded they begin to erode and naturally make beautiful sculptured giant pieces of ice.  This was made with a Sony a7r iv and 100-400mm lens.  I’ll be sharing some close-ups of the ice in some future photos.

Rusted Whale Oil Tank

whale oil tank in Antarctica

Rust, rust, rust . .  I love rust and especially the rust of Antarctica.  This photo was made on Deception Island in Antarctica.  I have been working on a whole series of rust in Antarctica and it will be part of an upcoming article where I share my different rust images.   I liked this one with the ladder and graffiti.  Funny to see graffiti even in Antarctica. Photographed with a Sony a75iv and 100-400mm zoom lens.

Punta Arenas Cemetery

Every year that I go to Antarctica I arrive in the city of Punta Arenas, Chile a day early so I can spend some time at the cemetery there photographing the incredible location.  National Geographic lists this cemetery as one of the most beautiful in the world.  It’s very different,  spooking and yet a gorgeous place to visit.  This image is one of many I will share.  It’s of the tomb of one of the regional leaders and has been descritated with red paint as part of a nationwide protest against the government of Chile.  This is very visible around the country no matter where you go.

Penguin Express

I just completed an Antarctica Expedition with 30 clients.  It was a super trip and I have come home with a ton of photos.  These photographs were made while we were traveling from one location to another.  We were having dinner and saw this iceberg with penguins go by.  The Captain immediately turns the ship around and we approached this iceberg.  The penguins were jumping onto it and it was fin to watch as many took several tries to get up.  It was dusk and very dark and I was fortunate to be shooting with a Sony a7r4 which has terrific high ISO capability.  These are two of my favorites that I hope to make large prints of next week.  I’ll also have more photos, an article or two and videos that will appear on photopxl.com in the near future.

The Tower In Copenhagen

I love Denmark and especially in Copenhagen.  It’s one of the coolest cities in Europe and I have made dozens of trips there.  One place I always enjoy visiting is the round tower.  If I have my facts right a long time ago a Danish King wanted to have a tower he could drive his carriage up to with his wife to oversee the city.  So, he built this tower with a circular roadway made of cobblestones that he could drive his carriage up.  I guess things are a bit different today.  I love walking up this tower and when you get to the top there is a 360-degree view of the city.  If you visit Copenhagen make sure to do this attraction.

The Dolomites

About ten years ago I found the Dolomites.  I looked at a lot of photos online and these beautiful images of grand mountain vistas were continuing to show up.  So with a bit of investigation I learned about the Dolomites.  I found a photographer that was familiar with the region and had him join us as a leader for the area. The workshop was a success.  I have now made several trips there and plan to do more as well as possibly another workshop in the next year.  These images are just a few that one can expect from this region, otherwise known as the Italian side of the alps.
