stuny Posted February 7, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 7, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Barbara has finished vetting my captions and photo choices (as well as correcting where I placed several photos) from our January visit to Antarctica. I’ve categorized the photos geographically, and invite you to see them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted February 7, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 7, 2012 The albums appear to be broken. Clicking on an individual photo doesn't give a larger image as I expected but a 404 'not found' message. Example here...

kaethe Posted February 8, 2012 Share #5 Posted February 8, 2012 Wonderful album. The "ice pattern" shot was interesting. What did those feet belong to? The British station museum pantry and kitchen was quite cozy considering the location. I also liked the boldness of the "coatroom" shot. kaethe Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuny Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share #7 Posted February 8, 2012 Advertisement (gone after registration) Steve - We've not been able to solve that for years now. However, if you click on Print Photo it will display larger and all you then have to do is cancel the print job to move the print window out of the way. Kaethe - Sadly, they were from an Adelie penguin, our favorite, and the penguin that is the southernmost ranging of all penguin speices. It's not unusual to find remains of penguins near all colonies, but in a way these were the most striking. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

lars_bergquist Posted February 8, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2012 Exposure is always tricky with all that snow and ice. What you get if you take a straight meter reading is usually what we see here: Medium blue-gray snow and ice. We have a lot of that here in Sweden too, at times. The trick is usually to meter the snow/ice and then increase the exposure by 1 2/3 f-stop in overcast weather, about 2 stops in sun. In sunny and clear weather you can also get a quite good exposure by metering the blue sky. The abominable old snowman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted February 8, 2012 Share #10 Posted February 8, 2012 I was shooting some snow scenes at the weekend in v cloudy conditions and added 2/3 stop exposure. The main reason for not using more was that there wasn't just snow in the frame, there were darker objects (trees) that I had to take into account too.

Rick Posted February 8, 2012 Share #11 Posted February 8, 2012 Really great photos and what an amazing place. You two have certainly had some most excellent adventures! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicamann Posted February 9, 2012 Share #12 Posted February 9, 2012 Finally...great set..some excellent shots here. My only observation is that with huge views like that, I would have taken the widest possible lens..ie 15mm to 21mm.. just to get the shear scale of it all. Thanks for sharing Cheers, JRM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main reason for not using more was that there wasn't just snow in the frame, there were darker objects (trees) that I had to take into account too. Yes, that could be right if you meter the entire scene – depending on how much snow and how large dark objects there are in the picture. But metering ONLY the snow is metering a near-maximum diffuse highlight. That, in principle, is what you do with an incident meter, except that such a meter does automatically increase the exposure value given to give highlights their correct brightness (and make an 18% medium gray ... medium gray. With the 'snow method' you have to increase the exposure yourself. The old man from the Selenium Age Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
roguewave Posted February 9, 2012 Share #14 Posted February 9, 2012 Stu, kudos to you & Barbara. Thanks for letting me take a tour of a place I could never survive in. All those winters in Miami have it impossible to tolerate that kind of climate. I admire your spirit of adventure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share #15 Posted February 11, 2012 Due to Barbara's usual exquisite planning the trip was wonderful. Interestingly, quite a few of our other trips were better overall. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
