Travels around the world
Zodiac Leading an Antarctic Cruise Ship Through the Lemaire Channel. I had never seen clouds this color blue before, and they were that color blue. I am guessing it is blue light reflecting off the glacier. Image taken with a Leica T camera and 18-56 mm lens (ISO 100, 31 mm, f/11, 1/40 sec). Image processed with Capture One Pro 8, Focus Magic, and Photoshop CC.
A large Brown Skua was soaring over the MS Fram as we traveled from Brown Station to Port Lockroy.
After visiting the Argentine Almirante Brown Base we traveled to the British Port Lockroy. A stowaway Snowy Sheathbill hitched a ride on the MS Fram to Port Lockroy. The Gentoo Penguins at were minding their nests, with several hatching and just hatched chicks.
The first stop in the morning was at the Argentine Almirante Brown Base. Lots of Snowy Sheathbill and Gentoo Penguins. The Gentoo Penguins were minding their nests, with several hatching and just hatched chicks.
First Night Fireworks in St. Petersburg. My brother and I went down to Vinoy park to view the early fireworks display. I set up two cameras [Fuji X-T3 camera with a 8-16 mm f/2.8 lens (ISO 200, 8 mm, f/8, 8 sec) and Leica CL camera with a 18 mm lens (ISO 100, 18 mm, f/8, 8 sec)] and a Garmin VIRB-360 time-lapse camera to record the show. The early fireworks display was only 5 minutes long. I think the show just before midnight is longer, but I needed to get up early to start on my way back to New Jersey.
