Photography Antarctica
Obviously the beauty of Antarctica brings out the artist and photographer in all who witness it. Bright blue ice, sleeping seals, miles of undisturbed white and of course stately penguins can fill up a roll of film in no time. A few tips for successful shooting in Antarctica: - Use a polarizing filter to take the glare out and make the blue sky bluer and snow whiter. - Bring a yellow float bag to protect your camera from salt spray and water on the zodiac boats. Any type of waterproof bag can do. - Bring a variety of film speed, 100 for very bright days when the sun reflects off the snow harshly, and 200/400 for overcast days and zoom. - Telephoto is great here to capture the distant animals. Respect their homes and get close via zoom. Don't forget the wide angle lens to capture the real expanse and vastness here that is found no where else.
