We get so caught up in color and how easy it is to make great color images in this digital age. Sometimes it is nice to re-visit B&W. This image was shot near Golden Bay in the South Georgia Islands. This was a magnificent day with blue skies, high winds, great clouds. The renticular clouds that formed over the mountains, the snow and layered lower level clouds all combine to make an excellent photo.
Happy New Years Eve . . . party well and party safe.
On one of my trips to Antarctica we visits a place called the Iceberg Graveyard. It was called this because Icebergs would drift into this large bay, ground themselves in the shallow waters and essentially die there. During the process though water would do its thing and erode these monster size pieces of ice into works of nature art. Here’s one shot there. I love the color, shape and sky and added to that the reflection. Enjoy.
Penguins, boy do I have penguins. At one time I honestly could say I had the highest resolution penguin images in the world as I shot this image and many others with the only P65+ at the time to visit Antarctica. These are amazing creatures and over the year and my three visits to Antarctica I have amassed a large library of penguin images. This is a fun shot as three penguins march forward and seem to be on a mission. These are very busy creatures. They always have something to do and they seem focused on getting the task done. This was shot with a P65+ and 75-150mm lens. The detail in this image is amazing as you can zoom in and see the crystals in the snow. I’ll publish more penguin images over time.
I have had the opportunity to visit Antarctica three times. I am amazed by icebergs. They are here today and gone tomorrow. Chance are pretty good that the images I take of these beauties are the only ones there are. Every iceberg is different and I’ll post more over time so you can see. Today’s image is a shot of an iceberg close-up. I love the whole vein looking thing going on here. It’s almost like a painting but so complex. And, the color – where does nature come up with such pretty blues.
Another cold morning here in Indiana. Never thought I’d say this but thinking for of being a snowbird more everyday. The last few days have been catch up days after returning from Australia. So much to do. I leave again on Monday for a road trip to FL for the holidays. Will be nice to see family and kick back a bit. This image was shot in Antarctica on one of my three trips there. Lovely place and this was one of those magic shots. There are tons of Antarctica images so you’ll see more. This was taken in a place called the Gullet that not too many people get to visit. It was one of those life changing days. And, a lot warmer than it is here today.
Having been to Antarctica three times I have managed to accumulate a massive amount of photos. This region is one of the most beautiful places to visit on the planet. While the voyage there can be quite rough the images are quite beautiful. Today I present you an iceberg. And, I have a ton of beautiful icebergs so this won’t be the last you see of these. I made a decision to work this one in black and white. There is just something about the way this piece of ice just pokes into the sky. Add the amazing sky behind it and you get this image.
