I'm back from Antarctica (it was incredible), and am only a day and a half from having to head out toward the Mono Lake Winter Workshop I'll be teaching next weekend. But I did want to get a quick note out to let you know the Antarctica trip had been a wild success, and that I was very much looking forward to the upcoming weekend.
And to give you a little taste from the Antarctic images, of course!
Zodiac'ing through a set of icebergs just outside the Southern outlet of the Lemaire Channel, we passed a large berg and I happened to look back and immediately noticed that that side of the berg has, in addition to having a gentle S-shape, lined with hundreds of icicles dripping outside of the usual couple-foot tall carve out you see near the waterline of icebergs. We stopped and did a large number of shots lining up the icicles, and eventually moved on, but as we left the scene, I saw a new angle and quickly shot three frames as we sped away. I just loved the way the curves repeated here, and how gentle reflected sunlight off the water created even more interesting light on the lower parts of the iceberg.
Anyway, it may be several days before my next installment (I should return to daily posting after that), but I did want to check in and give a progress update. More soon!
