Iceberg And Glacier

Iceberg and Glacier, Svalbard, Norway
Iceberg and Glacier, Svalbard, Norway

This shot was made in Svalbard Norway on my recent Arctic Adventure.  we were cruising this bay where a few glaciers were ending.  Also, we were searching for Polar Bears.  When we cruised by tis piece of ice in our Zodiacs, I had to ask the driver to go around a time or two.  I finally saw the image in my viewfinder and fired away.  I think I captured the essence of the iceberg as well as the big glacier behind it with the kind of light that we were experiencing at the moment.  I really like this one.

Water and Ice

Waterfalls in the Arctic
Waterfalls in the Arctic

Arriving at this location we faced a gigantic and very long glacier or ice wall.  It is actually part of the permanent ice pack on Svalbard.  zThere must have been a hundred waterfalls flowing from this place.  This one image is showing a waterfall of about 50 feet coming out of a glacier as water carves it way through the glaciers.  Some of the other waterfalls come of the top.  I have pictures of those too so you’ll see them somewhere along the way.  Pretty amazing to  see all of this.

The Journey To New Zealand Begins

Ice and Glaciers at Mount Cook, New Zealand

I love going to all the great places that I can to photography.  What I don’t like is airports and airplanes and the process of getting there.  Today I start out my journey to New Zealand to host a Phase One PODAS workshop there.  I start my journey in Indinapolis and fly to Detroit, from there to Los Angeles and then to Sydney and from sydney to Queenstown, NZ.  That’s a lot of hours in planes and airports.  I have done it before and will do it many times again.  the iPad is loaded with books, magazines and TV shows I can catch up on.  I have special drugs mixed with a view glasses of wine that will make time travel faster.  And, fortunately I usually get off the plane and forget that I juts took the trip.  It’s all worth it especially in NZ because I’ll shoot so many great places.  So stay tuned, I’ll update the images here as often as I can.

Norwegian Ice

Glacier, Norway

I am excited because I leave in a few hours for my 40th class reunion back in Wayne, PA.   HArd to believe it has been 40 years.  I’ll be meeting up with some old firefighting buddies and visiting some people I haven’t seen in a very long tome.  Best of all I’ll be eating breakfast at my all time favorite breakfast place Joe’s Place.  Three mornings of breakfasts there should do me for a while.  Today’s image is from a glacier in Norway.  Light and the color of the ice make it a beautiful image.

Dirty Glacier

Glacier in Alaska

Funny, I always thought that glaciers were supposed to be all white and nice looking.  Apparently not.  This is a glacier in Alaska.  I loved the dirt in the ice as well as the mountains in the background.  Glacier and ice just fascinate me.  They are ever changing and from all the glaciers I have sen in the last few years, they are disappearing fast.

Norwegian Glacial Valley

Glacial Valley, Norway

One of the locations I want to do a PODAS workshop at next year will be Norway.  I was there a few years ago and have tremendously nice images from the trip.  This is one shot near the base of a still active glacier looking down the valley that the glacier once occupied.  The small puddle of water on the rock kind of sets a nice foreground for the distant valley.  If I remember this was shot with a P45+.
