Valparaiso Chile

On my visits to Santiago, Chile I usually make it a point to arrive a few days early so I can spend a day shooting in Valparaiso. Valparaiso is a coastal town about 2 hours away from Santiago. You can hire a car fo the day and take a tour of this city built on a hillside. The attraction is all the graffiti. It’s a city of Graffiti art and there are some incredible places to photograph. On my last trip there I had lunch at a small cafe and out the window of the cafe, I saw the scene above. I love rust and I really liked the story the photograph told. A lot can be interpreted by viewing this image. What do you see?

Tuscany Sunrise

There are few things better than standing on a hill in Tuscany, Italy and watching the sun come up. Tuscany is a magical place with a charm and feel all its own. Small villages and magnificent landscapes are everywhere. I enjoy sunrises when you get the low fog in the valley showing up. It adds depth and layers to the landscape and the photograph.

South Georgia Island Black and White

I have so many images I’m working on from the South Georgia – Antarctica trip. This is a Pano shot converted into BW. I shot 10 separate exposures and stitched these together in Photoshop and then converted to Black and white in Silver EFX Pro. I was hiking around this portion of the landing we were on and then came over a ridge only to see this inlet and glacier and a plain below leading up to it. Just magnificent. I took a seat on a big rock and just looked at this scene before deciding it worked best as s stitched image. I’ll be making a large print of this soon. Shot with a Fuji XT-2 and 18-55mm lens.

Rust Everywhere

There are so many things to like about South Georgia Island. Every cove, every harbor, every fjord has something special for the photographer and explorer. This particular spot has everything I like, rust and landscape and a few seals. We had the pefrect weather for this excursion. Made with a Fuji XT-2 and 18-55mm lens.

South Georgia Island is a great place to shoot King Penguins. I did was sit on the beach by the water and these fellows came over to say hello. It’s amazing how curious and friendly these little guys are. This was shot with a Fuji XT-2 and 10-24 wide angle zoom.

Like A Fairy Tale

South Georgia Island is like a magical land in the middle of an ocean that is very hard to get to. No matter what bay you visit or what land you set foot on you are blessed with incredibly beautiful scenes that make great images for the photographic artists. This image was made at Gold Harbor which is just teaming with wildlife and amazing landscapes. This was done at sunrise before breakfast. The day just got better from that point on.

Fuji XT-2 and 18-55mm lens.

Good Morning South Georgia

On our trip to South Georgia and Antarctica, it was the early bird that saw spectacular sunrises. Being the leader of this trip it wasn’t unusual for me to wake the ship up early to see and photograph a sunrise like this. Shot with a Fuji Xt-2 and the 16-55mm. This was pure South Georgia, color and clouds.

Penguin Love

Over the last 3 weeks, I captured 12,000 images as part of the Luminous-Landscape South Georgia and Antarctica adventure. I have managed to narrow the collection down to 2400 images, The rejects sit in a separate folder off on the server just in case I ever need to refer to them.

Now that I am in major editing mode and have started to output some of my favorites images, i thought it would be good to share them. I’ll also be doing an article on LuLa soon with many more images. Today though I thought it would be great to share with you an image of what I call Penguin Love. Penguins are incredible creatures and they do the most amazing things. I loved the way these two showed their affection with each other.

Shot with a Fuji XT-2 and a 100-400mm lens. The Fuji never let me down on this trip. The 100-400mm with great IOS let me hand-held exposures with the equivalent of a 600mm lens. And, it focuses close enough to get images like this.

We Are Back In Many Ways

Today we launched the NEW Kevinraber.com. reabereyes.com website. One of the things I did for a long time was to make a post a day with one of my photographs and the story behind it. Today we are back with the new look.

We are also back from Antarctica and South Georgia Island. What a fantastic trip to such an amazing place. I lead a ship of 68 photographers to this amazing place, and for 21 days we had an adventure of a lifetime. You’ll read more about this in coming weeks.

I look forward to sharing more photos and stories. Also, the new site will also have the articles I have written for Luminous-Landscpe.com the site that I am publisher and CEO of.

Ice Cave Ceiling

One of our highlights on the Iceland trip was visiting an Ice Cave. Not only was the experience of getting to the cave fun but the cave was pretty cool too. We had to use big four-wheeled drive vehicles to get these and then once there get into all sort of gear. The light inside was all blue as the ice filters away all other light, So, here is a photo of the ice cave ceiling and one of me looking like I am straight out of the Blue Man Group.
