Antarctic Dreams<\/strong> – a developing portfolio<\/p>\n

I recently returned from an amazing adventure: \u00a0Antarctica By Air –\u00a0A Unique Luminous Landscape Photographic Workshop\u00a0with Michael Reichmann<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Only three weeks before departure, I was asked to replace an instructor who was unable to go. \u00a0Lucky me. \u00a0We photographed for five days, and I made 10,000 frames. \u00a0I know this amount sounds ridiculous, but the days were very long, the quality of the landscapes and wildlife was epic, and the shooting conditions difficult as we were often photographing from our zodiacs or the ship. \u00a0I photographed all images without a tripod, and with little time to deliberate on each composition. \u00a0Handholding and using two cameras, one with wide-angle zoom and another with a telephoto zoom, was a constant struggle. \u00a0And out of my comfort zone.<\/p>\n

I have been editing and post-processing at a frenetic pace, anxious to see, begin to absorb and interpret all that I saw.<\/p>\n

Here is a collection of 20 images, chosen only by my spontaneous leaping through my Lightroom catalog. \u00a0I am thrilled with the results, but I have a long way to go in my editing. \u00a0I plan to develop a portfolio of 40-50 images for a potential ebook, gallery prints and exhibits.<\/p>\n

I would enjoy your comments and feedback on this selection. \u00a0When I have another set of newly processed images, I will let you know! \u00a0As new images are created, I am adding them to my Facebook page<\/a>, Google+<\/a> or 500px<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
