I wish I knew how to take better pics.
gotta stop focusing on the $125 cameras on DD, and start focusing on the $12,500 ones.
Nice pan on the cormorant shot. How did you white balance in the ice and snow? Grey card or PP?
Very nice pictures!Could you type out the airports you traveled to and from?
Wow this is something I always wanted to do but....At least I can see it in pictures. What is the pricing on such an expedition like?
I believe we are all also grossly overlooking a very key part to this trip.
There was a 28-day boat charter from Falklands > South Georgia > Antarctica > Falklands that cost $10K. Flights, room and board within the falklands for 7 days was $1400, although we could have gotten it for $900 if we had not used a booking company.
Haha yes, you need to love photography to be great at it. That statement is probably true for anything .
that is per person pricing I assume?
The kit I used in Antarctica cost $4K, but the majority of the photos you see here (at this resolution) could have been taken with a $1K kit. The extra money buys me resolution for printing big, speed (AF, settings adjustments), and consistency (it works every time). Ultimately the photographer still has to do the real work. Also, don't underestimate (or hide behind) your $125 camera: In many respects, it outperforms a $50K film camera from 15 years ago.
