Wow It looks a bit chilly there. I'd love to do that as long as it's warm. I really like Arctic pictures. Nice shot.

One of my all time favorite HDR images on VB !!! When you do 3 clicks for HDR images like these – do you use the viewfinder to click or the live view? Which is the best option?

Location
Right off the coats of Half moon island, antarcticaTime
Near midnightLighting
The light in antarctica is amazing. With sunsets at 2am and sunrise just a few mins later the golden light lasts forever! Even when it's overcast the colors reflecting off the icebergs are stunning.Equipment
Nikon d700 16-35mm. Hand held from a small inflict able zodiac boatInspiration
It was my first experience in antarctica, my first day after crossing the drake passage portion of the ocean. Weak from seasickness the beauty and serenity of Antarctica cleared my head and opened my imagination.Editing
Minor exposure and contrast adjustmentsIn my camera bag
I travel light. My first trips I carried enough to challenge a bodybuilder. These days I limit myself to 2 bodies and very few lensesFeedback
Relax and enjoy the scenery. Once you slow down and take your time the images will come to you. Remember to put down the camera and just look. Antarctica allows memory's to last for all eternity even when there are no photographs to record it.
