Revisiting Antarctica

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Revisiting Antarctica

Postby DaveB on Sun Mar 28, 2010 12:54 am

I was just digging through my Antarctica files for some more images to put into this year's ANZANG (entries close 28th March) and also found a few I thought I might post here.

Image
Bergy Bit, Laubeuf Fjord, Antarctica
EOS 5DmkII, 24-105mm @ 32mm, ISO 100

Image
Bergy Bit, Gerlache Strait, Antarctica
EOS 5DmkII, 24-105mm @ 65mm, ISO 200

Image
Ice Cathedral, Andvord Bay, Antarctica
EOS 5DmkII, 24-105mm @ 28mm, ISO 800

Image
Eroding ice, Danco Island, Antarctica
EOS 5DmkII, 24-105mm @ 24mm, ISO 200

And because there're no animals in those (other than the bird in the 1st) here's what krill looks like for lunch:

Gentoo Penguin serving lunch, Petermann Island, Antarctica
EOS 40D, 100-400mm @ 235mm, ISO 200

Looking at these images really makes me want to go there. Hang on a minute I am in November :D

I think there's a second image in #1 with a pano crop just above the big ice chunk to completely remove it from the bottom.

Of these the fourth image really stands out for me. I like the vertical channels in the ice with the contrasting piece lower right. The pano crop really enahnces the strength of the shot as well. Not sure about the penguin vomit in #5 :wink:

The fourth is just great, very nice.
I think I would prefer a tighter crop just above your sig, but as mentioned the vertical striations and pano/ horizontal balance work really well.
