Cruising through ice in Antarctica. Canon 5D Mark III, 16-35mm f/2.8L (25mm), 0.5 sec @ f/7.1, ISO 100
While cruising through the ice late one evening in Antarctica, I tried to communicate a sense of movement in this image, as the viewing experience of watching pans of ice separate before the ice breaker’s bow was both mesmerizing and other-worldly. I used a 16-35mm lens and experimented with many shutter speeds. While the horizon in the picture is not razor sharp, the softness is acceptable to me given the sense of motion.
Well done. A very cool and unique idea–a new take on icy regions. Never seen anything like it, not even from those who frequent such areas such as Art Wolfe.
Thanks for your comments Ron and Emlyn
Hi Patrick
Great image and just as we remember in 2010. Would loved to have gone again. All the best Emlyn Horne
