I love icebergs. I have hundreds and hundreds of iceberg images from both polar regions. This one is not too special, but I liked it. Many times I like to change my icebergs into BW images.

I Miss Greenland
If it wasn’t for the pandemic I would have just been returning from Greenland. I do photo workshops and tours there every year except this one. I miss Greenland and need to get back there. I do have 2 back to back workshops scheduled there for next year. You can find information for this workshop HERE. By next year we are pretty confident that we will have a vaccine and be good to go. These workshops are booking up so if interested please think about booking soon.
I Love Ice
Ice and more Ice. why do I like ice so much? This little ice formation I gound three years ago while photographing in Svalbard, Norway. We were cruising in our Zodiacs shooting glaciers when we came upon this piece of ice which was most likely from the glacier itself. I used a wide-angle lens and lower the camera close to the water to capture this image. I was supposed to go back to Svalbard this August for a workshop but that has now been canceled due to COVID.

It’s Been So Long – Sorry
It’s been too long since my last post. When the Pandemic was declared and we went into lockdown things changed a lot and this blog lost its priority for me. Then Debra’s dad got sick and died of Covid-19 and then Debra caught COVID and we have a crisis with that. For now, things have settled down and we are into a new normal. I can’t say I l like the new normal. But, Debra and I have decided to stay as much in s=isolation as we can and avoid other people. Somehow I managed not to get infected and thus I am really being careful. After seeing her spend 16 days in bed in what was by the worst sickness she ever had I would like to see f I can pass on that experience. So we only go out to the stores for supplies or do the curbside pick-up from our favorite restaurants.
During the lockdown, I have had a chance to go back through a lot of images. I am cataloging old sessions to make them easier to work with and reprocessing many of my images, Today we start off with an iceberg shot that was part of one of my stories One Iceberg Many Looks story. For this shot, I opened it on my Pad and then sued Snapseen and DidtressedFX+ to radically change the image for a more dynamic image. It’s just one was as photographers we can express ourselves using the many digital tools available.

Starry Iceberg
\
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.
Big Ice
This will is the first of a lot of iceberg photos. I recently returned from Antarctica and shot thousands of images. This image was processed normally then I took it into Luminar 4 where I have some presets to bring out color and detail that I like for iceberg shots. I’ll do a tutorial on this on photoPXL.com in the near future.
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.
